Abstract

Bio-Strand, Inc., has developed a novel DNA microarray platform utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) DNA format. DNA probes or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products are spotted onto a thread-like scaffold, which is then wound onto a cylindrical core. By wrapping the thread around the core, high efficiencies are achieved in sample analysis. Using allele-specific oligo (ASO) competitive hybridization (with Cy5 fluorescently labeled sequences), hybridized arrays are visualized using a helium-neon (HeNe) laser and quantitated/scored. The method can readily detect single nucleotide differences. We demonstrate the use of this Bio-Strand 3D array in the analysis of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).

Capillary electrophoresis immunoassay based on an on-column immunological reaction.

An on-column immunological reaction was employed to achieve simple and rapid analysis in an immunoassay based on capillary electrophoresis using semiconductor laser-induced fluorescence detection. Human serum albumin (HSA) labeled with sulfoindocyanine succinimidyl ester (Cy5), a fluorescent compound with an absorption maximum at 649 nm, was used as a fluorescent probe for the immunoassay. In a binding assay, with anti-HSA as the analyte molecule, Cy5-HSA was injected in a capillary column followed by the injection of anti-HSA so as to form individual zones. By applying a potential, the anti-HSA reacted with Cy5-HSA at the boundary between Cy5-HSA and anti-HSA zones, since anti-HSA has a higher electrophoretic mobility than Cy5-HSA. Furthermore, the on-column method enhances the sensitivity by injecting a large volume of the sample. Free Cy5-HSA and its immunocomplex with anti-HSA were separated with less degradation in resolution than that predicted from the injection time of anti-HSA, even when the injection time for anti-HSA was increased. The ratio of the peak area of the complex to that of the total Cy5-HSA (free Cy5-HSA and the complex) increased in proportion to the injection time of anti-HSA. As a result, the detection limit was improved up to eight-fold (the concentration detection limit, 0.007 mg mL(-1), for an injection time of 240 s, compared to that obtained using an off-column sample preparation. Furthermore, the on-column reaction method was applicable to an immunoassay to determine native HSA, in which native HSA and Cy5-HSA react with anti-HSA stepwise. The detection limit in the stepwise reaction immunoassay was 0.005 mg mL(-1), which is 14 times lower than that in an off-column method, with the analysis time less than 10 min as the result of increasing the injection time of native HSA. In addition, the present on-column immunoassay was applied to the sample containing a high concentration of salts for investigating the effect of salts in the sample solution.

Combinational synthesis of oligonucleotides and assembly fabrication of oligonucleotide array.

In this paper, a simple, reliable and flexible method, which integrated in situ synthesis with the spotting technique, was reported to fabricate oligonucleotide array. Different oligonucleotide sequences are synthesized on their relative code glass slides through combinational chemistry, thus the slides are broken into smaller pieces, in which the same code pieces have the same probe sequences. An oligonucleotide array is fabricated by arbitrarily assembling these different code pieces onto another solid substrate. In principle experimentation, four different sequences of P16 gene were synthesized and a 5 x 5 array including these four sequences and the control black was fabricated. The analysis results indicated that the hybridization fluorescence intensity of the same sequences locating different sets on the array gave the approximate values, and the fluorescence intensity ratio of matched sequence to one middle location base mismatched, two base mismatched, three middle base mismatched is (1.000+/-0.080):(0.4991+/-0.0671):(0.2360+/-0.0044):(0.0493+/-0.0033). Their relative accuracies were from 6.64 to 10.2%. This result might be used to rapidly screen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Optimization of on-chip elongation for fabricating double-stranded DNA microarrays.

The sequence-specific recognitions between DNA and proteins are playing important roles in many biological functions. The double-stranded DNA microarrays (dsDNA microarrays) can be used to study the sequence-specific recognitions between DNAs and proteins in highly parallel way. In this paper, two different elongation processes in forming dsDNA from the immobilized oligonucleotides have been compared in order to optimize the fabrication of dsDNA microarrays: (1) elongation from the hairpins formed by the self-hybridized oligonucleatides spotted on a glass; (2) elongation from the complementary primers hybridized on the spotted oligonucleatides. The results suggested that the dsDNA probes density produced by the hybridized-primer extension was about four times lower than those by the self-hybridized hairpins. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the cost of dsDNA microarrays, we have replaced the Klenow DNA polymerase with Taq DNA polymerase, and optimized the reaction conditions of on-chip elongation. Our experiments showed that the elongation temperature of 50 degrees C and the Mg(2+) concentration of 2.5 mM are the optimized conditions in elongation with Taq DNA polymerase. A dsDNA microarray has been successfully constructed with the above method to detect NF-kB protein.
