  • Universal signal amplification tail
    Publication number: 20040002095
    Abstract: The present invention resides in a detection agent that can be used to amplify a detection signal for a target molecule. The detection agent contains a linear first single-stranded nucleic acid attached to a capture moiety that specific binds the target molecule of interest. The first single-stranded nucleic acid includes a plurality of repeat sequences, each of which is non-homopolymeric and can specifically bind to a second single-stranded nucleic acid that has at least one detectable label. Related method for using the claimed detection agent to amplify a detection signal and a kit for this purpose are also disclosed.
