摘要:
A method of specifically cleaving a double-stranded DNA (a target nucleic acid) at a specific nucleic acid sequence, which comprises irradiating a solution containing at least the target nucleic acid, a nucleic acid probe (a single-stranded oligonucleotide) linked to an intercalater and spermine with light with an absorption wavelength of the intercalater.
摘要:
A labeled nucleic acid probe comprising a single-stranded oligonucleotide probe having a nucleic acid sequence complementary to a specific nucleic acid sequence in a target nucleic acid and an intercalating fluorochrome bound to said probe is used to detect the target nucleic acid by a convenient, single-stage method in a homogeneous system. The formation of a complementary bond between the probe and the target nucleic acid can be detected and the amount of the resulting complementary binding product determined without requiring any extra step such as for removing the excess probe which has not participated in the complementary binding.

摘要:
A method for detecting fluorescence from a liquid sample housed in a transparent or translucent sample container includes providing a sample container in a sample holder, which is opaque except for a sample container introduction opening and incoming and outgoing openings for excitation light; layering a liquid sample and a shielding liquid unmixable therewith to prevent external light from entering through the sample container introduction opening; introducing excitation light from such a direction that the excitation light can irradiate the liquid sample before irradiating the shielding liquid; and detecting fluorescence, which emits in a direction of avoiding absorption by the shielding liquid.
