One of the most popular modifications of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), known as nested PCR (Mullis and Faloona, 1987), is an in vitro DNA amplification employing nested primer pairs. In a typical protocol for the nested PCR, a first-round PCR is performed with a pair of outer primers. A small amount of the first-round PCR product is transferred to a fresh reaction tube for a second-round PCR by using a pair of inner primers. The nested PCR is currently the most sensitive means of detecting the mycoplasmas in cell cultures or in clinical materials because a single copy of target sequence can be detected (Harasawa et al., 1993a, b). Another advantage of the nested PCR is that the second-round PCR serves to confirm the specificity of the first-round PCR. The nested primer pairs recommended in this chapter consist of sequences of the 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions (Fig. 1).
