Dried Anopheles gambiae mosquito head + thorax portions, infected with Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites, were processed by the polymerase chain reaction. The PCR product was hybridized to an oligonucleotide probe (known as 114R or AW34) diagnostic for Plasmodium . The detection level by autoradiography was ten sporozoites per mosquito. Head + thorax of mosquitoes that contained mature P.falciparum oocysts, without sporozoites, gave no positive signal, indicating that the test detects only infective mosquitoes. This test can be applied to wild mosquito specimens collected, prepared and processed at different time intervals. The technique is convenient, highly sensitive, and could be used with a non-radioactive detection system and specific probes to differentiate Plasmodium spp.  相似文献

A novel multifunctional controlled pore glass, MF-CPG (Fig. 1), has been synthesized and used to incorporate 3' terminal primary aliphatic amines into synthetic oligonucleotides. MF-CPG consists of a unique succinic acid linking arm which possesses both a masked primary amine for label attachment and a dimethoxytrityl protected hydroxyl for nucleotide chain elongation. Using MF-CPG, we have devised a simple and convenient technique to attach non-radioactive labels to the 3' terminus of oligonucleotides. Bifunctional probes can then be constructed by 32P labeling the 5' terminus with T4 kinase and gamma 32P-ATP. Using such bifunctional oligonucleotide probes in conjunction with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, we were able to detect single base substitutions in a target segment of the human H-ras protooncogene employing either functionality. Our technique thus expands the potential applications for oligonucleotides as hybridization probes.  相似文献

A series of oligonucleotides containing biotin-11-dUMP at various positions were synthesized and compared in quantitative, colorimetric hybridization-detection studies. A deoxyuridine phosphoramidite containing a protected allylamino sidearm was synthesized and used in standard, automated synthesis cycles to prepare oligonucleotides with allylamino residues at various positions within a standard 17-base sequence. Biotin substituents were subsequently attached to the allylamino sidearms by reaction with N-biotinyl-6-aminocaproic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. These oligomers were hybridized to target DNA immobilized on microtiter wells (ELISA plates), and were detected with a streptavidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex using hydrogen peroxide as substrate and o-phenylenediamine as chromogen. We found that the sensitivity of detection of target DNA by biotin-labeled oligonucleotide probes was strongly dependent upon the position of the biotin label. Oligonucleotides containing biotin labels near or off the ends of the hybridizing sequence were more effective probes than oligonucleotides containing internal biotin labels. An additive effect of increasing numbers of biotin-dUMP residues was found for some labeling configurations.  相似文献

Under appropriate conditions synthetic oligonucleotide hybridization probes display essentially absolute hybridization specificity. That is, every nucleotide must form a Watson-Crick base pair in order that the probe forms a stable duplex. All of the non-Watson-Crick base pairs, including G-T, have a destabilizing effect. Thus, it is possible to choose stringent conditions of hybridization such that, while a perfectly matched duplex between an oligonucleotide and complementary DNA will form, duplexes mismatched at one or more position will not. Mutations in a single base in the DNA sequence of a gene can and do result in genetic diseases. The hybridization of oligonucleotides to the region of DNA containing these base changes would be affected by the mutations and thus, oligonucleotide hybridization provides a means of detecting single base changes. In an attempt to develop a non-radioactive method for the detection of human genetic diseases, we have prepared biotinylated-oligonucleotides by an enzymatic method. An oligonucleotide probe (23-mer) containing a single biotinylated deoxyuridine residue at the 3'-terminus was prepared by a primer extention reaction using E. coli DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment). The probe could be specifically and tightly bound with Avidin D in 1 M NaCl. It could be hybridized to a plasmid DNA containing a perfectly matched complementary sequence, but not to a DNA containing 5 non-consecutive non-complementary bases. The hybridized biotinylated probe could be visualized by Avidin D and biotinylated alkaline phosphatase, even when 1.8 ng of the plasmid DNA (0.5 fmol) was used. A general approach to the enzymatic synthesis of oligonucleotides containing a single biotinylated deoxyuridine at the 3' end is described.  相似文献

Different methods for labelling polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products with non-radioactive labels for their detection by hybridization with immobilized DNA probes were compared. The use of digoxigenin (DIG) as a label provided greater sensitivity than biotin in a PCR system targeting the invA gene from Salmonella typhimurium. Incorporation of digoxigenin into amplicons in the form of 5-DIG-labelled oligonucleotide primers resulted in better assay signals and was more economical than DIG-labelled dUTP.  相似文献

Two DNA probes and a number of oligonucleotide probes were designed from the virulence factor genes of Bacillus anthracis. These probes were tested for specificity against 52 B. anthracis strains and 233 Bacillus strains encompassing 23 other species. A rapid slot blotting technique was used for screening the large numbers of isolates involved. All probes tested appeared to be specific for B. anthracis under high stringency conditions. These probes could differentiate between virulent and avirulent strains. The probes were also applied to the detection of B. anthracis in routine environmental and clinical samples. A non-radioactive hybridization and detection system based on digoxigenin-11-dUTP was developed.  相似文献

The syntheses are described of two types of linker molecule useful for the specific attachment of non-radioactive labels such as biotin and fluorophores to the 5' terminus of synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides. The linkers are designed such that they can be coupled to the oligonucleotide as a final step in solid-phase synthesis using commercial DNA synthesis machines. Increased sensitivity of biotin detection was possible using an anti-biotin hybridoma/peroxidase detection system.  相似文献

Summary Gastrin immunocytochemistry and non-radioactive in situ hybridization, using biotinylated oligonucleotide probes, for gastrin mRNA have been used for studying a retrospective material of six gastrin-producing (Zollinger-Ellison) tumors. Hybridization results for gastrin mRNA were positive in all six, while gastrin immunoreactivity could be detected in five tumors. In one of the patients, different areas of the same tumor displayed differences in immunoreactivity to gastrin, but were uniformly hybridization positive. Weak hybridization signals were detected in liver metastases from a necropsy case, while the gastrin immunostaining was more pronounced. The results show that non-radioactive hybridization methods are applicable to routine clinical specimens stored for as long as 16 years and that in situ hybridization may be a useful complement to immunocytochemical diagnosis, particularly in cases where high synthesis and little storage of hormonal products occur.  相似文献

Oxime bond formation has been applied to the preparation of oligonucleotides labeled with electrochemical ferrocene and viologen labels. Aminooxy functionalized ferrocene and viologen derivatives were prepared by a straightforward route and efficiently conjugated with aldehyde containing oligonucleotides either at 3′ or 5′ end. Both labels were found to not disturb the recognition properties of the oligonucleotide. The versatility of the method was further demonstrated by preparing bi-functionalized conjugates with a disulfide at 3′ end and an electrochemical label at 5′ end.  相似文献

Differentiation of lactococci by rRNA gene restriction analysis   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Strains of the subspecies of Lactococcus lactis could be differentiated by rRNA gene restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP). 16S rRNA-specific oligonucleotide as well as polynucleotide DNA probes were used for the detection of restriction fragments. In addition, a site-specific probe was designed for the intergenic spacer region of 23S and 5S rRNA genes. For all lactococcal strains the putative presence of six rRNA operons was confirmed. A non-radioactive hybridization assay was used based on hybrid detection by chemiluminescence. Specific patterns were found for any of the strains investigated. Subspecies-specific restriction fragments could be identified in addition to the strain-specific patterns.  相似文献

The synthesis of polyamide-oligonucleotide conjugate molecules.   总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
We have developed methods for the synthesis of peptide-oligodeoxyribonucleotide conjugate molecules in particular, and polyamide-oligonucleotide conjugates in general. Synthesis is carried out by a solid-phase procedure and involves the assembly of a polyamide on the solid support, conversion of the terminal amino group to a protected primary aliphatic hydroxy group by reaction with alpha, omega-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives, and finally oligonucleotide synthesis using phosphoramidite chemistry. The conjugate molecules can be used as DNA probes, with the polyamide component carrying one or more non-radioactive markers. These conjugates also have the potential to be used as anti-sense inhibitors of gene expression, with the peptide segment acting as a targeting moiety.  相似文献

Synthetic oligonucleotides, complementary to unique sequences in the heat stable enterotoxin gene of Escherichia coli specific for humans, were prepared with a 30-atom spacer arm and a 3' terminal sulfhydryl group which was coupled to bromoacetyl-derivatized alkaline phosphatase. The resulting direct enzyme-linked oligonucleotide probes, containing one enzyme molecule per oligonucleotide, successfully diagnosed enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in clinical specimens by using a modified colony hybridization method and a colorimetric assay. The procedure is rapid, simple and reliable with a sensitivity equivalent to that using 5'-terminally labelled [32p]-oligonucleotide probes. The results indicate that the enzyme-labelled oligonucleotide probes should be applicable to the routine diagnosis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and possess the potential for the detection of other microbial pathogens.  相似文献

Oligonucleotides that carry a detectable label can be used to probe for mRNA targets in in situ hybridization experiments. Oligonucleotide probes (OPs) have several advantages over cDNA probes and riboprobes. These include the easy synthesis of large quantities of probe, superior penetration of probe into cells and tissues, and the ability to design gene- or allele-specific probes. One significant disadvantage of OPs is poor sensitivity, in part due to the constraints of adding and subsequently detecting multiple labels per oligonucleotide. In this study, we compared OPs labeled with multiple detectable haptens (such as biotin, digoxigenin, or fluorescein) to those directly conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). We used branching phosphoramidites to add from two to 64 haptens per OP and show that in cells, 16-32 haptens per OP give the best detection sensitivity for mRNA targets. OPs were also made by directly conjugating the same oligonucleotide sequences to HRP. In general, the HRP-conjugated OPs were more sensitive than the multihapten versions of the same sequence. Both probe designs work well both on cells and on formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. We also show that a cocktail of OPs further increases sensitivity and that OPs can be designed to detect specific members of a gene family. This work demonstrates that multihapten-labeled and HRP-conjugated OPs are sensitive and specific and can make superior in situ hybridization probes for both research and diagnostic applications.  相似文献

We have constructed a cDNA expression library of developing corn (Zea mays L.) endosperm using plasmid pUC8 as vector and Escherichia coli strain DH1 as host. The expression library was screened with non-radioactive immunological probes to detect the expression of gamma-zein and alpha-zein. When anti-gamma-zein antibody was used as the probe, 23 colonies gave positive reactions. The lengths of cDNA inserts of the 23 colonies were found to be 250–900 base pairs. When anti-alpha zein antibody was used, however, fewer colonies gave positive reactions. The library was also screened by colony-hybridization with 32P-labeled DNA probes. Based on immunological and hybridization screening of the library and other evidence, we conclude that alpha-zein was either toxic to E. coli cells or rapidly degraded whereas gamma-zein and its fragments were readily expressed.  相似文献

The methodological possibilities of non-radioactive in situ hybridization of nucleic acids and its application for an immediate localization of genes and chromosomes are discussed. The advantages of a non-isotope probe labeling versus a use of radioactive substances are emphasized. Various types of compounds used as a label are distinguished. The principles of use of the above labels and the ways to improve the method in terms of increasing its sensitivity are considered. Some results obtained while using non-radioactive labelled probes are reported. It is shown promising to use this method for molecular-genetic analysis of DNA polymorphism in human genome.  相似文献
