A review of the vast amt of work performed in the field of percussion primers reveals what is essentially an empirical approach to the development of both primer designs and priming mixts. It is recognized that a percussion primer must perform two vital functions (1) it must fire , ignite , or otherwise function when provided with the proper mechanical stimulus — a firing pin (with optimum contour to its striking end) and (2) it must perform its other function by which the flame , fire , or output will ignite the proplnt properly so as to provide the projectile with the specified velocity and within...

Primer design is one of the most important aspects of a robust PCR assay. In general, primers should be designed such that they are not able to form secondary structures such as stemloop or hairpin configurations. A primer must not be complementary at the 3 end, as this will cause primer dimers to form. All primers should have similar melting temperatures and should not contain stretches of individual nucleotides. There are software programs available to assist in primer design, but it is crucial that primers are tested in the assay, especially in a multiplex system. 

In this approach, bisulfite-treated DNA is used as the template, and 50-100nM nnmethylated or methylated DNA-specific primers are nsed for PCR amplification in separate reactions. For quantification, a AAC.J, method is nsed and normalized with the C.J, (cycle threshold) for the 3-actin gene (43). Alternatively, a fragment of the target gene promoter will be amplified using primers designed from a CpG-free area as an internal control (see Note 3). To eliminate any primer dimer that will compromise the accuracy of the results, an additional step in the PCR cycles above...
