AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology works well with small mature proteins called micro-ribonucleic acid or MNRs which play an important role during cellular growth processes such as differentiation, developmental regulation, cancer metastasis, stem cell renewing, etc., but they may have harmful side effect on other organisms if taken carelessly due to their ability to affect gene expression patterns. By analyzing these molecules from various sources like blood plasma, urine, saliva, sputum, tissue sections, brain cords, bone marrow aspirates, tumor specimens, skin swabs, hair follicles, cervix uteri, stomach lining fluid, liver fluids, chick embryos, hepatocytes, placentas, muscle spindlets, nerve fibers, cardiac trovesicles, kidneys, pancreases, adrenals, ovary glands, breast milk, pancreatitis, ovaries, testes, thymus primordium, heart disease patients' circulating DNA, and others weigh heavily towards understanding how this new discovery could help develop better diagnoses and treatments against diseased states caused by abnormal protein production.

Problems solved by technology

Technologies described in this patents involve developing various techniques called qSRP(quantum SR Probing) and SQDN (single nucleotide polymerase/DNA sequencing). These technics aim at identifying minute amounts of targets within cells without being affected by background noise sources like other proteins. They require precise measurements while avoiding any interference caused by unrelated substances such as protein interactions. Additionally, they rely heavily upon immune responses during inflammatory processes, leading to potential misidentifications even if some were present. To address these issues, we developed a novel technique called SSCRM (Single Structure Quantitation Microscopy)-based Methodology: The technical problem addressed in this study is improving the ability of detecting bioactive compounds specifically associated with certain types of diseases based on their unique characteristics.

Abstract

The invention discloses a single molecular detection method of let-7a in human lung cells. The single molecular detection method comprises the following steps: (1) assembling a DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) tetrahedral probe to obtain a DNA tetrahedral solution; (2) preparing a silanization glass substrate, then adding the DNA tetrahedral solution to the substrate, and inoculating to obtain a DNA tetrahedral substrate; (3) carrying out single molecular detection on let-7a, namely, detecting by adopting a standard addition method, firstly respectively adding materials to be detected to a Tris-HCl solution of standard let-7a with stagewise concentration to prepare samples to be detected; then adding a biotinylated ssDNA probe and a streptavidin quantum dot, imaging by using a fluorescent shooting microscope, respectively checking the number of phosphor dots, making a standard curvilinear equation, and calculating the concentration of let-7a. Experimental results prove that the single molecular detection method shows good specificity and sensitivity for miRNA (let-7a), and the limit of detection is 5fM.
