Abstract:
This application relates to methods for ligating oligonucleotides having complementarity to a target nucleic acid, and amplifying the ligated oligonucleotides, where ligation and amplification occur in the same reaction mixture.
Abstract:
The present teachings provide methods, compositions, and kits for detecting the presence of protein aggregates. In some embodiments, the protein aggregate is treated with a labeled precursor, and the labeled precursor is incorporated into the protein aggregate to form a labeled protein aggregate. The labeled protein aggregate is then measured, thus detecting the presence of the protein aggregate. In some embodiments, the labeled protein aggregate is detected by interaction of labeled precursors, for example by a proximity ligation assay.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for processing a sample includes selecting a selected sample from a biological specimen, the selected sample being in contact with a first surface of a first substrate. The method also includes transferring the selected sample directly from the first surface to a container comprising an internal volume. The method also includes forming or providing a sample solution within the internal volume of the container by contacting the selected sample with a lysis mixture using a protocol. The method further includes performing an assay, experiment, or test on the sample solution while the sample solution disposed is within the internal volume of the container.In another embodiment, a method for processing a sample includes providing a selected sample comprising one or more cells. The method also includes transferring the selected sample into an internal volume of a container. The method also includes contacting the selected sample with a lysis mixture using a protocol to provide a sample solution, wherein the protocol comprises heating the sample solution to a first temperature that is greater than 37 degrees Celsius and less than or equal to 75 degrees Celsius.
