摘要:
The present invention relates to conjugates of synthetic binding units and nucleic acids. The present invention also relates to methods for sorting and immobilizing nucleic acids on support materials using such conjugates by specific molecular addressing of the nucleic acids mediated by the synthetic binding systems. Particularly, the present invention also relates to novel methods of utilizing conjugates of synthetic binding units and nucleic acids to in active electronic array systems to produce novel array constructs from the conjugates, and the use of such constructs in various nucleic acid assay formats. In addition, the present invention relates to various novel forms of such conjugates, improved methods of making solid phase synthesized conjugates, and improved methods of conjugating pre-synthesized synthetic binding units and nucleic acids. The present invention also relates to the use of conjugates of synthetic binding units and nucleic acids as substrates for various enzymatic reactions, including nucleic acid amplification reactions.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel fluorescein derivative compounds having fluorescence spectrum and quantum yield characteristics similar to those of fluorescein. The compounds are readily synthesized and purified and are readily soluble in water at self-quenching concentrations. Significantly, due to the presence of polar polyhydroxy group substituents and the absence of metal-chelating groups, these fluorescein derivatives are susceptible to minimal leakage across liposome membranes and have fluorescence characteristics minimally sensitive to the presence of metal ions. Compounds of the invention are thus exceptionally suitable for use in the development of highly storage stable liposome preparations to be employed in immunolytic assays involving human body fluid samples.
摘要:
The invention is a rapid, continuous test for glycated hemoglobin using a non-equilibrium affinity binding method. Agarose beads derivatized with 3-aminophenylboronic acid specifically bind glycated hemoglobin. This solid phase is incorporated into a sample processor card, modified to mix and to separate the test solution from the solid phase prior to absorbance readings. Two absorbance readings are made on the test solution, one immediately after mixing the reagent/diluent with the specimen, and one after a significant amount of binding has occurred. A linear correlation between total glycated hemoglobin and hemoglobin A.sub.1c permits standardization and reporting of units equivalent to % hemoglobin A.sub.1c. Stable glycated hemoglobin solutions for use as standards in the assay, and a method for preparing the standards are also disclosed.
