  • Oligonucleotides for multiplexed binding assays
    Publication number: 20060204971
    Abstract: An assay system for an analyte, the system having a solid support; and six or more pairs of oligonucleotides, each oligonucleotide of the pair being at least partially complementary to the other oligonucleotide of the pair. Each pair has a first oligonucleotide and a second oligonucleotide, the first oligonucleotide being immobilized to the solid support, and the second oligonucleotide having an analyte binding agent attached thereto. The oligonucleotides have a maximum of three consecutive identical nucleotides and less than about 10% cross-hybridization when used in assays conducted at from about 37° C. to about 45° C.
