Table 2 Method for detecting codon 268 mutations: primer pairs for amplification with size of amplification product and restriction enzyme for following digest

From: Different mutation patterns of atovaquone resistance to Plasmodium falciparum in vitro and in vivo: rapid detection of codon 268 polymorphisms in the cytochrome b as potential in vivo resistance marker

Codon 268

Type

Primer pair

Product size

Cutting enzyme

Fragment length

 

Outer PCR

CYTb1 + CYTb2

939 bp

  

TAT

Wild type

CYTb3 + CYTb5

384 bp

NsiI

359 + 25

TCT

Y268S

CYTb2 + CYTb6

171 bp

AlwNI

147 + 24

AAT

Y268N

CYTb2 + CYTb7

174 bp

SspI
