Various embodiments relate generally to the field of nucleic acid amplification and detection, in particular isothermal nucleic acid amplification and the detection of the amplicons using designated detection probes. Moreover, various embodiments also relate to methods for determining the presence or quantity of a target nucleic acid molecule in a sample using isothermal amplification. The detection probe is a single-stranded probe that recognises a probe binding site within target amplicons. The detection probe comprises at least one 3′end nucleotide mismatch and a quencher-fluorophore pair at the opposite ends of the probe. Following hybridization of the detection probe to the target amplicons, a DNA polymerase with 3′-5′ exonuclease activity can cleave the detection probe at the 3′ end nucleotide mismatch to release a 3′-terminal probe fragment comprising the quencher or fluorophore, thus generating signals.

Abrégé
Reported is the construction of a T3 vector expression system for the generation of inducible stable cell lines producing a range of recombinant proteins such as antibodies and their derivatives. It combines doxycyclin-inducible expression, CRISPR-mediated stable genomic integration, and single construct design. The T3-based system embodies a flexible and efficient platform with which to produce a wide range of recombinant antibodies, while addressing several issues inherent to such processes. When directly fused to detectable marker such as fluorescent proteins, these recombinant antibodies obviate the requirement for secondary labelling reagents. Additionally, a novel, high-activity variant of recombinant horseradish peroxidase was generated, which can be used in single-step Western-blotting experiments. Moreover, coupling this modified HRP with a single chain anti-p53 antibody effectively allowed single-step detection of p53 expression, in cancer lesions from formalin-fixed human tissue samples.
