The cLAMP specificity of the design (left panel) and reference (right panel) primer set. The plasmid DNA (pDNA) containing 18S rRNA genes from both the P. falciparum S-type (PfS) and A-type (PfA) were utilized to confirm primer specificity. A-type 18S rRNA genes from other Plasmodium species were also employed for confirmation: P. vivax (PvA), P. knowlesi (PkA), P. malariae (PmA), and P. ovale (PoA). (a) The results indicated the specificity of PCR with the outer primer set (F3-B3c) for their corresponding fragments. PfA, with the designed primer, exhibited an expected size of 229 bp, while PfS, with the reference primer, showed an expected size of 220 bp. Lane M represents the DNA ladder mix. (b) The cLAMP results were visualized through 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. (c) The cLAMP results corresponded to (b) and were confirmed through naked eye direct observation. Yellow/orange coloration indicated a positive, whereas pink indicated a negative.
