摘要:
Novel methods and reagents for determining the presence of specific nucleic acid base sequences by employing crosslinking reactions of unique molecules capable of forming covalent bonds which are bonded with various labels or ligands for amplication. Single stranded nucleic acid probes are employed which contain complementary base sequences to nucleic acid target molecules. By first hybridizing and then forming covalent bonds between the probe and target the amount of label in the crosslinked hybrid can be measured as an extremely sensitive method for assaying for specific nucleic acid sequences.

Antisense oligonucleotide sequences which enable the measurement of the distribution and structure of antisense oligonucleotide drugs in the body, with lapse of time, and a method of detecting these sequences are provided. The antisense chains have a natural or non-natural nucleotide or peptide nucleic acid as a structure unit in which carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms are substituted by 13 C and 15 N, respectively, and the antisense chains can be detected by nuclear magnet resonance spectrometry (NMR) such as 15 N- 1 H or 13 C- 1 H heteronuclide multiple quantum coherence spectrometry.

A method is disclosed for modifying an oligonucleotide, which method has application to the detection of a polynucleotide analyte. An oligonucleotide is reversibly hybridized with a polynucleotide, for example, a polynucleotide analyte, in the presence of a 5'-nuclease under isothermal conditions. The polynucleotide analyte serves as a recognition element to enable a 5'-nuclease to cleave the oligonucleotide to provide (i) a first fragment that is substantially non-hybridizable to the polynucleotide analyte and (ii) a second fragment that lies 3' of the first fragment (in the intact oligonucleotide) and is substantially hybridizable to the polynucleotide analyte. At least a 100-fold molar excess of the first fragment and/or the second fragment are obtained relative to the molar amount of the polynucleotide analyte. The presence of the first fragment and/or the second fragment is detected, the presence thereof indicating the presence of the polynucleotide analyte. The method has particular application to the detection of a polynucleotide analyte such as DNA. Kits for conducting methods in accordance with the invention are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method for detecting an analyte of interest present in a mixture at an ultralow concentration includes selecting a radioactive derivatizing agent comprising a bound multiphoton-emitting radioisotope and a moiety reactive with the analyte of interest, the radioisotope moiety being bound to the derivatizing agent by a bond that is stable under the conditions employed in the other steps of the method, derivatizing the analyte of interest with the derivatizing agent, separating the analyte of interest from other components of the mixture by chromatography, and detecting the analyte of interest using multiphoton detection. The derivatizing step may be performed before or after fractionation. A radiophore for multiphoton emission enhanced chromatography has a first moiety bound to a multiphoton-emitting radioisotope, and a second moiety that is reactive with a functional group of an analyte of interest. The first moiety may be a benzene group having an alkoxy, amino, or thiol group, bound to a halogen radioisotope; a complexing agent able to form a stable complex with a metal radioisotope such as a lanthanide or heavy metal.
