  • Modified deazapyrimidines
    Patent number: 5359053
    Abstract: The probes of the invention are able to withstand higher temperatures, thereby allowing unmatched probes and mismatched probes to be washed off at higher hybridization stringency, thereby eliminating background readings and improving ease and accuracy of probe use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 1992
    Date of Patent: October 25, 1994
    Assignee: G. D. Searle & Co.
