    摘要: The invented method utilizes a signal amplification system comprising living cells which are specifically provided with the ability to survive, reproduce and be detected in the event that a target molecule is present. The method comprises first the step of binding a target molecule to a substratum. In the second step a phagemid is prepared which is capable of transfecting a cell enabling such transfected cell to produce a signal, such as color or light. The phagemid is then provided with a means for binding to a probe, thus forming a phagemid complex.The probe may also be provided with a means of binding to the phagemid complex. This modified probe is then hybridized with the target molecules bound to the substratum. Thereafter, the phagemid complex is hybridized with the modified probe and specific binding occurs between the phagemid complex and the modified probe thus forming a substrutum-target-probe phagemid complex. As a next step, lysogenic bacterial cells which are infectable by the particular phagemid being used are added to the system in an environment which favors transfection of the phagemid nucleic acid into the bacteria. The growth medium is constituted so that only transfected bacteria survive and are capable of reproducing. The phagemid also enable the bacteria to produce a signal such light or color. Only the transfected bacterial cells containing the plasmid gene for producing the signal will be detectable.

    摘要: Nucleic acid sequences are detected by a multi-step process, involving labeling sample nucleic acid sequences, duplexing the labeled sample with a probe having a coupling element, immobilizing all of the duplexed probe and target sequence and unduplexed probe, separating specifically immobilized nucleic acid from free and non-specifically immobilized nucleic acid, releasing specifically immobilized nucleic acid, and detecting the presence of the sequence of interest by means of the label. The labeled sequence may be characterized by sizing, e.g. electrophoresis. The method provides for a sensitive and rapid means for accurate detection of sequences of interest in a wide variety of situations.
