Description
High-Fidelity PCR
Pfu DNA Polymerase is a high-fidelity, thermostable enzyme of approximately 90kDa isolated from Pyrococcus furiosus. The enzyme replicates DNA at 75°C, catalyzing the polymerization of nucleotides in the 5´→3´ direction in the presence of magnesium. Pfu DNA Polymerase also possesses 3´→5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity. Base misincorporations that may occur during polymerization are rapidly excised by this proofreading activity. Consequently, Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR and primer extension reactions that require high-fidelity synthesis. Pfu DNA Polymerase-generated PCR fragments are blunt-ended.

Summary
The authors used Pfu DNA Polymerase to accurately amplify and subsequently clone the envelope glycoprotein region in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) for development of a human monoclonal antibody.
The authors used Pfu DNA Polymerase to construct human naĂŻve antibody gene libraries with high affinity and variability.
The authors used Pfu DNA Polymerase to amplify the COI gene in wingless parasitoids and subsequently clone and perform Sanger sequencing to reconstruct a partial phylogenetic tree of the organism.
The authors used Pfu DNA Polymerase to amplify the coding sequence of the Cragi-TKR gene from a cDNA library, subsequently cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector, transiently transfected using Fugene HD, and calcium responses were measured.
The authors first performed reverse transcription on Chikungunya viral RNA using ImProm-II Reverse Transcription System to generate cDNA that was then used as a template to amplify the E1 region using Pfu DNA Polymerase. The PCR amplicon was subsequently Sanger sequenced.
