摘要:
A method is disclosed for extending an extender probe to produce a single stranded polydeoxynucleotide that is free of unreacted extender probe and has two segments that are non-contiguous and complementary with each other. The method comprises the steps of (1) providing in combination (a) a polynucleotide having two non-contiguous, non-complementary nucleotide sequences S1 and S2 wherein S2 is 5' of S1 and is at least ten deoxynucleotides long, (b) an extender probe comprised of two deoxynucleotide sequences, wherein the sequence at the 3'-end of the extender probe (EP1) is hybridizable with S1 and the other of the deoxynucleotide sequences (EP2) is substantially identical to S2 and (c) means for modifying the 3'-end of extender probe that does not hybridize with the polynucleotide and (2) extending the extender probe along the polynucleotide wherein extender probe not hybridized to the polynucleotide becomes modified at its 3'-end.

The method can also comprise providing in the combination a polydoxynucleotide primer capable of hybridizing at least at its 3'-end with a nucleotide sequence complementary to S2 under conditions where (1) the extended extender probe is rendered single stranded, (2) the polydeoxynucleotide primer hybridizes with and is extended along the extended extender probe to form a duplex comprising extended primer, (3) the extended primer is dissociated from the duplex, and (4) the primer hybridizes with and is extended along the extended primer to form a duplex comprising extended primer, and repeating steps (3) and (4). The method finds particular application in the detection of polynucleotide analytes.

A method is disclosed for determining the presence of a polynucleotide analyte in a sample suspected of containing the analyte. The method comprises (a) forming as a result of the presence of an analyte a single stranded polynucleotide comprising a target polynucleotide binding sequence flanked by first and second polynucleotide sequences that differ from the sequence of the analyte or a sequence complementary to the analyte sequence, (b) forming multiple copies of the single stranded polynucleotide, and (c) detecting the single stranded polynucleotide. Also disclosed is a method of producing at least one copy of a single stranded polynucleotide. The method comprises (a) forming in the presence of nucleoside triphosphates and template dependent polynucleotide polymerase an extension of a polynucleotide primer at least the 3'-end of which has at least a 10 base sequence hybridizable with a second sequence flanking the 3'-end of the single stranded polynucleotide, the second sequence being partially or fully complementary with at least a 10 base first sequence flanking the 5' end of the single stranded polynucleotide, (b) dissociating the extended polynucleotide primer and the single stranded polynucleotide, (c) repeating step a and (d) dissociating the extended polynucleotide primer and the copy of the single stranded polynucleotide.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for modifying an oligonucleotide, which method has application to the detection of a polynucleotide analyte. An oligonucleotide is reversibly hybridized with a polynucleotide, for example, a polynucleotide analyte, in the presence of a 5'-nuclease under isothermal conditions. The polynucleotide analyte serves as a recognition element to enable a 5'-nuclease to cleave the oligonucleotide to provide (i) a first fragment that is substantially non-hybridizable to the polynucleotide analyte and (ii) a second fragment that lies 3' of the first fragment (in the intact oligonucleotide) and is substantially hybridizable to the polynucleotide analyte. At least a 100-fold molar excess of the first fragment and/or the second fragment are obtained relative to the molar amount of the polynucleotide analyte. The presence of the first fragment and/or the second fragment is detected, the presence thereof indicating the presence of the polynucleotide analyte. The method has particular application to the detection of a polynucleotide analyte such as DNA. Kits for conducting methods in accordance with the present invention are also disclosed.
