Abstract
Oligonucleotide comprising, from 5' to 3', a first portion comprising an upstream segment and a downstream segment forming a stem-loop structure, and a second portion not capable of self-pairing, in which the first portion comprises at least one blocking agent, capable of blocking the replication, by a polymerase, of the said oligonucleotide, such that at least one portion of the downstream segment is replicated and such that the upstream segment is replicated neither totally nor partially. This oligonucleotide can be used as primer in a process for the cyclic amplification of a target sequence of a nucleic acid.
