摘要:
Disclosed is a PNA oligomer with increased solubility in water and specificity upon hybridization with nucleic acid, which comprises at least one universal base, capable of forming a base pair with natural DNA or RNA bases, incorporated in its base sequence, the base sequence having at least 60% purine bases or at least four contiguous purine bases.
摘要:
Disclosed are PNA probes capable of genotype specifically binding with Human Paillomavirus (HPV) DNA, kits for detecting HPV genotypes comprising the probes, and methods for detecting HPV genotypes by using the kits, which enables the accurate detection of all 24 genotypes of HPV found in cervix, diagnosis of combined infection with more than one HPV genotype, and detection of HPV genotypes with high specificity and sensitivity.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) conjugated with multi-amine linkers, and a method to prepare the same and utilization thereof. More specifically, the method is characterized by conjugating monomers having multi-amine functionality sequentially at a PNA terminal, and effectively immobilizing the PNA conjugated with multi-amine linkers on a solid surface. A PNA array prepared using the PNA conjugated with multi-amine linkers exhibits improved sensitivity and specificity of signals for detecting target nucleic acids as compared to a PNA array using PNA probes having only one amine group. The PNA conjugated with multi-amine linkers can be utilized in nucleic acid detecting devices or kits for gene diagnosis such as PNA microarrays, PNA chips, PNA field-effect transistors and impedance detectors.

摘要:
Disclosed are peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes to detect lamivudine resistant mutants of hepatitis B virus (HBV), which causes acute and chronic hepatitis, kits for detecting lamivudine resistant HBV comprising the PNA probes, and methods for detecting lamivudine resistant HBV by using the kits. They can accurately detect mutations of rtL180M, rtM204V, rtM204I and rtV2071 within B and C domains of HBV DNA polymerase gene, the main cause of lamivudine resistance, as well as mixed mutants of more than one mutant. They can detect lamivudine resistant HBV with high specificity and sensitivity.
