Borate for glycoprotein detection, and preparation method of borate

The invention discloses borate for glycoprotein detection; the borate is specifically 6-carboxy-4', 5'-dichloro-2',7'-dimethoxyfluorescein phenyl borate. A preparation method of the borate comprises the following steps: enabling 2-chloro-4-methoxy-1,3-ben

COATINGS FOR MEASURING PH CHANGES

A pH detectable coating. The pH detectable coating includes a pH insensitive fluorescent dye and a pH sensitive fluorescent dye. The pH insensitive fluorescent dye and the pH sensitive fluorescent dye are attached to a surface. The ratio of the fluorescent intensity of the pH insensitive fluorescent dye to the fluorescent intensity of the pH sensitive fluorescent dye varies according to the pH of an environment into which the surface is placed.

Single label comparative hybridization

The present invention provides methods of detecting and mapping chromosomal or genetic abnormalities associated with various diseases or with predisposition to various diseases, or to detecting the phenomena of large scale copy number variants. In particular, the present invention provides advanced methods of performing array-based comparative hybridization that allow reproducibility between samples and enhanced sensitivity by using the same detectable label for both test sample and reference sample nucleic acids. Invention methods are useful for the detection or diagnosis of particular disease conditions such as cancer, and detecting predisposition to cancer based on detection of chromosomal or genetic abnormalities and gene expression level. Invention methods are also useful for the detection or diagnosis of hereditary genetic disorders or predisposition thereto, especially in prenatal samples. Moreover, invention methods are also useful for the detection or diagnosis of de novo genetic aberrations associated with post-natal developmental abnormalities.

4',5'-Dichloro-2',7'-dimethoxy-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (JOE): Synthesis and spectral properties of oligonucleotide conjugates

A convenient procedure for the preparation of the fluorescent dye 4',5'-dichloro-2',7'-dimethoxy-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (JOE) is reported; the overall yield achieved starting from isovanillin is 10 times higher (40% vs 4%) compared to the known procedure. Isomers (5- and 6-) are easily chromatographically separable as pentafluorophenyl esters of 3′,6′-O-bis(cyclohexylcarbonyl) derivatives. Four non-nucleoside JOE phosphoramidites based on 5- and 6-isomers and flexible 6-aminohexanol (AH) or rigid 4-trans-aminocyclohexanol (ACH) linkers have been prepared and used for oligonucleotide labeling. Spectral and photophysical properties of 5′-JOE-modified oligonucleotides have been studied. Fluorescence quantum yield of the dye correlates with the nature of the linker (rigid vs flexible) and with the presence of dG nucleosides in close proximity to a JOE residue.

Nucleic acid size detection method

The present invention provides methods of determining the size of a particular nucleic acid segment of interest in a sample of nucleic acids through fragmentation of DNA, size fractionation, an optional second fragmentation, and identification using a marker sequence. In particular aspects, an expansion or reduction of tandem repeat sequences can be detected. In further aspects, carriers and individuals afflicted with fragile X syndrome or other diseases associated with tandem repeats can be distinguished from normal individuals.

Assay for mycobacterium avium/intracellulare nucleic acid

Disclosed is a method for determining the presence of Mycobacterium avium complex nucleic acids in a biological sample. In particular, the mig gene of M. avium and the DT1 gene of M. intracellulare are detected, preferably following amplification. In addition, the method distinguishes between species of M. avium and M. intracellulare. Also described are oligonucleotides that can be used as primers to amplify target genes such as mig and DT1 genes and as probes as well as kits containing the oligonucleotides.

Substractive single label comparative hybridization

Provided are methods of determining differences between nucleic acids in a test sample and a reference sample. In certain embodiments the methods are used for detecting and mapping chromosomal or genetic abnormalities associated with various diseases or with predisposition to various diseases, or to detecting the phenomena of large scale copy number variants. In particular, provided are advanced methods of performing array-based comparative hybridization that allow reproducibility between samples and enhanced sensitivity by using the same detectable label for both test sample and reference sample nucleic acids. Invention methods are useful for the detection or diagnosis of particular disease conditions such as cancer, and detecting predisposition to cancer based on detection of chromosomal or genetic abnormalities and gene expression level. Invention methods are also useful for the detection or diagnosis of hereditary genetic disorders or predisposition thereto, especially in prenatal samples. Moreover, invention methods are also useful for the detection or diagnosis of de novo genetic aberrations associated with post-natal developmental abnormalities.

Activatable probes and methods for in vivo gene detection

Probes for detecting a target polynucleotide are provided. One aspect provides a molecular beacon probe set wherein the donor molecular beacon comprises a quantum dot and an acceptor molecular beacon comprises at least one reporter. The probes optionally comprise a protein transduction domain, targeting signal, or a combination thereof. Methods for detecting target polynucleotides using the disclosed probes are also provided.

Oligonucleotides comprising a molecular switch

This invention relates to oligonucleotides comprising a molecular switch which may exist in an “open” or “closed” position. The molecular switch portion of the probe is particularly sensitive to the identity of sequences complementary to the molecular switch. Oligonucleotides containing a molecular switch are applicable to all kinds of hybridization processes. Due to the sensitivity of the switch domain of the oligonucleotide, probes containing a molecular switch are particularly useful in the identification of single point mismatches. More specifically, a portion, but not all, of the oligonucleotide becomes unbound from a mismatched target. The invention further relates to methods of using said oligonucleotides for research reagents, and clinical diagnostics. An exemplary oligonucleotide comprises a first hybridizable domain, a second bridging block domain, and a third binding domain.

Dual resonance energy transfer nucleic acid probes

Dual nucleic acid probes with resonance energy transfer moieties are provided. In particular, fluorescent or luminescent resonance energy transfer moieties are provided on hairpin stem-loop molecular beacon probes that hybridize sufficiently near each other on a subject nucleic acid, e.g. mRNA, to generate an observable interaction. The invention also provides lanthanide chelate luminescent resonance energy transfer moieties on linear and stem-loop probes that hybridize sufficiently near each other on a subject nucleic acid to generate an observable interaction. The invention thereby provides detectable signals for rapid, specific and sensitive hybridization determination in vivo. The probes are used in methods of detection of nucleic acid target hybridization for the identification and quantification of tissue and cell-specific gene expression levels, including response to external stimuli, such as drug candidates, and genetic variations associated with disease, such as cancer.
