Publication number: 20110318740Abstract: Disclosed, for example, are methods for detecting at least one target polynucleotide comprising cleaving a flap from a polynucleotide probe that is hybridized to a complementary target polynucleotide, and hybridizing the cleaved flap to a complementary capture probe immobilized on a surface, wherein said cleaving and/or hybridizing occurs in the presence of a single strand binding protein that is capable of binding single-stranded DNA, but that can bind neither the flap nor the capture probe. The cleaved flap and the complementary capture probe may each comprise PNA, RNA, LNA, L-DNA or other modified nucleotides or chimeras thereof that do not significantly bind to the single strand binding protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2011Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: LIFE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Robert G.

Publication number: 20080227124Abstract: Solid supports for chemiluminescent assays are provided. The solid support includes a plurality of probes covalently or physically attached to the support surface and a chemiluminescent enhancing moiety incorporated onto the surface or into the bulk of the support. The solid support can be a multi-layered support including an upper probe binding layer (e.g., an azlactone polymer layer or porous functional polyamide layer) adjacent to a cationic microgel layer. The azlactone-functional polymer can be a copolymer of dimethylacrylamide and vinylazlactone crosslinked with ethylenediamine. The cationic microgel layer can be a cross-linked quaternary onium salt containing polymer. A method and a kit for conducting chemiluminescent assays using the solid supports is also provided. The kit comprises a dioxetane substrate, a biopolymer probe-enzyme complex, and a solid support.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008
