摘要:
Provided herein are biomolecular hybridization devices comprising a substrate with a permanently and covalently attached surface of functional groups and an adsorbed monolayer of unmodified, single-stranded oligonucleotides all of which are 10 to about 24 bases in length as a saturated film of constrained oligonucleotides on the surface via direct non-covalent phosphate-surface adsorptive contact of substantially all phosphate groups of each oligonucleotide. The constrained oligonucleotides are effective to dissociably hybridize to a complementary single-stranded nucleic acid with asymmetric, non-helical base pairing and without oligonucleotide dissociation from the surface of the device. Also, provided are methods for hybridizing solution-state target nucleic acids to probe nucleic acids and for identifying a nucleotide sequence to which a nucleotide-binding protein binds using the biomolecular hybridization devices.

Provided herein are methods for isolating, detecting and analyzing a virus in a sample. Generally, the virus is isolated via centrifuging, incubating, aggregating, and lysing the sample to obtain a crude neutralized lysate. The crude neutralized lysate is analyzed and the virus(es) are detected by performing one of a first polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification followed by a second PCR amplification, by an isothermal amplification or by the reverse transcription reaction and the first polymerase chain reaction amplification together utilizing fluorescently labeled primer pairs and hybridizing the resultant fluorescent labeled amplicons to complementary nucleic acid probes.

Provided herein is a method for identifying a mastitis-causing microbe in a subject. A milk sample is centrifuged to form a microbial pellet, total nucleic acids are extracted from the pellet and a microarray analysis of extracted DNA from which the mastitis-causing microbe is identified from DNA hybridization to mastitis-causing microbe species-specific gene probes. Also provided is a method for diagnosing a bovine mastitis infection in a dairy cow after identifying the bovine mastitis-causing microbe in a raw milk sample from the dairy cow.
摘要:
The present invention provides a portable system for real-time population-scale HLA genotyping and/or allelotyping in a field environment and methods of such population-scale HLA genotyping. The individual components of the system are portable to and operable within a field environment thereby providing high throughput with real-time geno- or allelotyping. Also provided are HLA gene-specific primers and HLA allele-specific or single nucleotide polymorphism-specific hybridization probes. In addition the present invention provides a microarray comprising the hybridization probes. Further provided is a kit comprising the HLA gene-specific primers and the microarray.
