Default PCR with 1 Primer



I'm trying to amplify an unsequenced region of DNA containing highly repetitive and highly polymorphic genes. I have obtained some good clean sequence but want to expand on this. Does anyone know if it would be possible to obtain small amounts of amplicon if the PCR reaction was done using only one primer? I realise you wouldn't get the exponential growth in product, and the amplicons would be of varying lengths, but if the process was repeated several times and the products purified could you end up with something that could be sequenced?
