摘要:
RNA may be transcribed using a nucleotide reagent as the promoter. The reagent may enable RNA to be transcribed without sequence specification and without protein cofactors, by means of an RNA polymerase that is known to be DNA-dependent such as the RNA polymerase of the phage T7, or by means of new, mutated RNA polymerase with the ability to synthesize a transcription product of polynucleotide matrix with a higher yield when the matrix is RNA than when the matrix is DNA. This type of RNA polymerase can be obtained by effecting mutations on a coding gene for a wild-type RNA polymerase, and then by selecting the mutated RNA polymerase with the ability. The invention can be applied notably to the detection, synthesis or quantification of RNA.
摘要:
An RNA amplification method is particularly useful for diagnosing bacterial or viral infections or genetic disorders and for cell typing. The method includes the steps of denaturing a solution containing RNA, synthesizing a first cDNA strand from a suitable primer in the presence of reverse transcriptase, denaturing the heteroduplex formed, synthesizing a second cDNA strand from a second primer in the presence of DNA polymerase and then subjecting the cDNA formed to a sufficient number of amplification cycles. All the reactants and solvents are first placed in the same container to provide a single manipulation step that avoids the risk of contamination.

摘要:
The invention concerns a method for isolating proteins and/or protein and nucleic acid associations in a sample, comprising steps which consist in: contacting said sample and magnetic colloidal particles comprising a core and a coat wherein: the core is magnetic and is coated with at least a polymer comprising functional groups X selected among amine, hydroxyl, thiol, aldehyde, ester, anhydride, acid chloride, carbonate, carbamate, isocyanate and isothiocyanate groups or mixtures thereof, whereof at least one fraction has reacted with other functional groups of the coat, and the coat consists of a polymer bearing functional groups Z and Z′, capable of ionisation, identical or different, selected among amine, carboxylic acid, ester, anhydride, aldehyde, thiol, disulphide, α-halogenocarbonyl, sulphonic acid, maleimide, isocyanate and isothiocyanate groups to form a mixture; incubating said mixture in predetermined conditions; and separating from the mixture the protein and/or protein and nucleic acid associations complexed on the colloidal particles by applying a magnetic field. The invention also concerns a complex consisting of colloidal particles and proteins, a reagent comprising such a complex or colloidal particles.
摘要:
A target nucleic acid may be amplified in the presence of an enzymatic system including DNA polymerase, strand translocation and RNAse H activities by using a chimeric primer that includes, in the 5' to 3' direction, an RNA-type segment capable of hybridizing with a 3'-terminal segment of the target and a DNA-type segment capable of hybridizing with a segment adjacent to the 3'-terminal segment of the target and a DNA- or RNA-type primer capable of hybridizing with the 3'-terminal segment of the target. A cyclic amplification that may be implemented isothermally on the basis of either a DNA or an RNA target is achieved even when the terminals are not defined.
摘要:
Device for capturing a target molecule for the purpose of detecting it and/or assaying it, including a solid support on which is immobilized a ligand, the ligand being provided in the form of a conjugate resulting from the covalent coupling of a polymer with a plurality of molecules of the ligand. The polymer is an N-vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, and the conjugate is immobilized on the solid support by adsorption. When the ligand is capable of forming a complex with the target, the device is specific for a given target. When the device comprises, in addition, a bifunctional reagent capable of forming a complex, on the one hand, with the ligand and, on the other hand, with the target, the support on which the ligand is immobilized constitutes a universal capturing system.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a target biomolecule in a sample comprising a plurality of biomolecules, whereby the target biomolecule is provided with a tag, said tag comprising a catalytic active moiety which catalyses a reaction yielding an insoluble reaction product which precipitates on flexible electrically conductive nanoelectrodes. The precipitation onto said nanoelectrodes causes a change in their electroconductivity which is accessible to electroanalytical methods. The invention relates further to a biochip comprising a solid support with nanoelectrodes attached thereto and probe molecules bound to all or to a plurality of said nanoelectrodes which may be the same or different, a segment of said probe molecules being able to interact specifically with a segment of the target biomolecules.

The invention relates to novel electropolymerisable monomers which are to be polymerised in an aqueous solution and comprise: an electropolymerisable pattern selected from acetylene, pyrrols, thiophenes, indols, anilines, azines, p-phenylene vinylenes, p-phenylenes, pyrenes, furanes, selenophenes, pyrridazines, carbazoles, acrylates, methacrylates and the derivatives thereof, and a metalloporphyrine which is substituted by at least two ionised or ionisable entities in an aqueous solution. The invention also relates to a method for the polymerisation of such monomers, to the electroactive probe that can be obtained by the polymerisation of such monomers, and to a method for detecting a target ligand in a biological sample using one such electroactive probe.
