Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention discloses an oligonucleotide probe which can be used for the identification of polymorphisms in a nucleic acid sequence. The probe contains an allele specific base at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide and an additional deliberate mismatch base at a position of up to 4 nucleotides from the 3' end of the probe. The oligonucleotide is particularly useful in Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) reactions by increasing the specificity of discrimination between alleles.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 15, 2002. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended January 15, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 15, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
