Background Art

[4]

Gene (DNA or RNA) genetic information carrier is, in in individual growth, growth, reproduction, such as genetic and the variation in the course of life plays an extremely important role. Gene detection in clinical diagnostic, single nucleotide polymorphism analysis, gene sequencing, environmental analysis, such as counter has important significance in the field. With the growing concern for their own health, to tumor, cancer and other major disease early diagnosis technology there are increasingly high requirements, there is therefore an urgent need for development of high-sensitivity gene detection technique. Gene mutation is one of the forms of single nucleotide polymorphism, with various diseases of occurrence of relationship is closely, the latest research shows that, with four hundred diseases related to the gene mutation. In order to detect the early onset of pathogenic gene can be the existence of specific, often need to conduct PCR amplification of the gene to be tested or by other forms of signal amplification method, such as gold amplification, conjugated high molecular amplification, enzyme-linked amplification, (L.Pang, J.Li, J.Jiang, G.Shen, R.Yu,   Biochem. 2006,358 Anal., 99 ; D.Q.Tang, D.J. Zhang, D.Y.Tang, H.Ai, J.Immunol.Methods   2006,316,144; X.Yao, X.Li, F. Toledo, C. Zurita-Lopez, M.Gutova, J.Momand, F.Zhou, Anal.Biochem. 2006, 354,220).

CN1808101A of the applicant discloses number of Patent applications discloses a method for fluorescence detection of DNA and its kit, the detection method comprises: using is connected to the capture probe on the magnetic particles to be detected in DNA from a biological sample magnetic enrichment and separation; then adding fluorescent group labeled signal probe (FAM), after the magnetic separation and concentration of the DNA to be detected with the signal probe matching, and the low-salt buffer solution used for washing; then adding water-soluble electrically conductive high molecular material, in other words conjugated high molecular (such as polyfluorenes derivatives PF) realizing signal multiplication, the conductive high molecular material is made of the fluorescence spectrum of the excitation wavelength, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) the method for detecting the detection and analysis of DNA to be detected. The method has high specificity and sensitivity. However, on the one hand low-salt washing process will increase the step of the operation, the reaction and detection time; on the other hand, low-salt solution will also make the fully complementary part of the double-stranded DNA melting, so that the complementary with mutated but discrimination reduced, that is, will reduce the selectivity of the mutation.

Wherein biological detection in competition mechanisms are frequently used for improving the selectivity of a detection method, such as ELISA, such as competition and competitive PCR. In detection of the gene (DNA), often adopt this kind of method. Compared with the linear DNA molecules, stem-loop structure specific DNA probe is because of the stem-loop structure can be formed, and its complementary target DNA with the more narrow melt temperature range and more high selectivity (G.Bonnet, S.Tyagi, A.Libchaber, F.Kramer, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.U.S.A. 1999, 96, 6171), commonly used in the detection of the single base mismatch. Therefore, the introduction of competition probe stem-loop structure will be further enhanced the comprehensive performance of the DNA biological sensor.

As a result in Figure 4. Result display, for introduction into a competitive strategy of the signal probe, the signal probe is a stem-loop structure, the formation of the stem-loop structures stem the enhanced quenching of FAM base pair part, therefore FAM fluorescence emission efficiency is low, and the occurring between PF FRET, FRET efficiency is low. Furthermore, the presence of a stem-loop structure of the sterically hindered FRET efficiency is also one of the important factors. The result shows that introduce competitive capture probe to the single-point mutation of better selectivity. This is because the introduction of the strategy of competitive capture probe, the signal probe is a linear structure, the secondary structure does not exist, so its fluorescence emission efficiency is high, and the occurring between PF FRET, FRET efficiency is high.
