    摘要: Improved homogenous diagnostic assay methods and labels for detecting an analyte in a medium when the analyte is a member of a specific binding pair. The methods and labels provide procedures for reducing background and increasing sensitivity. The binding partner of the analyte is labeled with a substance, the stability of which detectably changes whenever said analyte is bound as a member of the specific binding pair, In a closely related system, the analyte is labeled with a substance susceptible to differential degradation depending on whether or not the analyte is bound as a member of its specific binding pair. After incubation and selective degradation or chemical or biochemical alteration, the amount of analyte bound is detected by measuring either the stability change or the extent of degradation of the label. In a particular system, chemiluminescent acridinium ester labeled probes are used in a homogenous hybridization assay format for sensitively detecting the presence of complement any target polynucleotide sequences.

    摘要: Nucleic acid hybridization probes having at least one nucleic acid strand which has at least two separate target specific regions that hybridize to a target nucleic acid sequence, and at least two distinct arm regions that do not hybridize with the target nucleic acid but possess complementary regions that are capable of hybridizing with one another. These regions are designed such that, under appropriate hybridization conditions, the complementary arm regions will not hybridize to one another in the absence of the target nucleic acid; but, in the presence of target nucleic acid the target-specific regions of the probe will anneal to the target nucleic acid, and the complementary arm regions will anneal to one another, thereby forming a branched nucleic acid structure.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods of amplifying a fragmented target nucleic acid containing short target nucleic acid fragments utilizing an assembler sequence to convert these short fragments into longer sequences enabling their identification and interrogation. This is particularly important when attempting to identify small genetic variations, such as SNVs, present in highly fragmented nucleic acid samples. Amplification is accomplished by hybridizing the short target nucleic acid sequences to the assembler sequence, where these short sequences serve as primers for extension. Since the fragmented target nucleic acids that contain SNVs are utilized as primers on the assembler sequence they are preserved during amplification and can be detected.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to novel methods of synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence which are autocatalytic (i.e., able to cycle automatically without the need to modify reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, or ionic strength and using the product of one cycle in the next one). In particular, the present invention discloses a method of nucleic acid amplification which is robust and efficient, while reducing the appearance of side products. The method uses only one primer, the “priming oligonucleotide,” a 3′blocked promoter oligonucleotide and optionally, a means for terminating a primer extension reaction, to amplify RNA or DNA molecules in vitro, while reducing or eliminating the formation of side products. The method of the present invention minimizes or eliminates the emergence of side products, thus providing a high level of specificity. Furthermore, the appearance of side products can complicate the analysis of the amplification reaction by various molecular detection techniques. The present invention minimizes or eliminates this problem, thus providing an enhanced level of sensitivity.
