Popis: Till now, there still has not an effective detection method for the highly processed GM (genetically modified) products. A novel method of the triplex nested PCR, was developed for the sensitive detection of several foreign genes (Lectin, CaMV 35S, CTP, CP4-EPSPS, NOS) in highly processed products. We detected seven representative highly processed products (soya lecithin, soya protein powder, chocolate beverage, infant rice cereal, crude soybean oil, soybean refine oil, soybean salad oil) by the triplex nested PCR. The first triplex PCR cannot detect the insert signals in the processed products, and the sensitivity is 0.5%. However the second triplex PCR, which can simultaneously detect RR soybean targets with a sensitivity of 0.005% in the triplex nested PCR. The result indicates the advanced level of the method for the GM products detection. It is a flexible assay to detect the RR soybean in highly processed products.
