Solution-phase single hybridization assay for detecting polynucleotide sequences

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5060149
This patent describes a process for determining the presence of a particular nucleic acid sequence in a sample containing cells. It comprises chemically modifying nucleic acids in an unpurified sample; conducting hybridization; contacting under hybridization conditions the chemically modified sample nucleic acids with a hybridizable nucleic acid probe; contacting the solution with an immobilized form of a reactive site on the sample nucleic acids or the probe, respectively; separating the resulting immobilized fraction from the remaining solution; and determining the presence of the label in the separated immobilized fraction or a decrease in the label in the remaining solution.
