  • Amplification technology using dual enzyme cascade detection
    Patent number: 11385229
    Abstract: Diagnostic assays and methods employ a dual-enzyme cascade system comprised of two enzymatic amplifiers and two molecular probes, by (a) incubating a target enzyme with a target enzyme substrate to liberate a thiol; (b) incubating the thiol with a disulfide inactivated amplification enzyme to activate the amplification enzyme in an interchange reaction of the thiol and the disulfide; and (c) incubating the activated amplification enzyme with an amplification enzyme substrate to generate an amplified signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 14, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Niren Murthy, Lee W. Riley, Tara Renee BeBoer
