Embodiment 1
[0416] Example 1 - Solid Phase sRCA Reaction
[0417] use figure 1 The probe depicted in exemplifies the sRCA principle.
[0418] Generation of probes
[0419] The first and second RCA templates are pre-ligated separately in solution to form the RCA "probe" (primer / template complex). 300 nM RCA template, 100 nM RCA primer and ligation buffer (1X T4 ligase buffer, 1 mM ATP and 0.05 U / μL T4 ligase) were mixed at 37° C. for 30 minutes.
[0420] Immobilization of the first RCA probe
[0421] A 100 fM dilution of the first RCA probe was prepared in 1XPBS. 50 μL of the 100 fM dilution was applied to streptavidin-coated slides (Codelink) for 30 minutes at room temperature. After incubation, slides were washed twice with wash buffer (1XPBS, 0.05% Tween 20).
[0422] Generation of the first RCA product
[0423] After removing the wash buffer, RCA mix (1X phi29 buffer (Fermentas), 250 μM dNTPs, 0.02 U / μL phi29 polymerase (Fermentas)) was added to the slide and incubated at 37° ...

[0430] Example 2 - Circular RCA probes for detection of RCA products
[0431] This example demonstrates the utility of circular RCA probes in super RCA (sRCA) reactions, such as Figure 11 An embodiment of the unfolded RCA reporter probe is depicted.
[0432] Preligated locks were amplified by RCA using phi29 polymerase for 1 hr at 37°C. The circular RCA probe was then incorporated and the reaction was continued at 37°C for 1 hour followed by 10 minutes at 65°C to inactivate the phi29 polymerase. Cy-3 or FITC-labeled oligonucleotides targeting the primary and secondary RCA products, respectively, were then added to the sRCA reaction and allowed to hybridize at 55°C for 20 minutes. sRCA products were adhered to poly-L-lysine-coated slides and subsequently visualized by epifluorescence microscopy using a 20X objective with an exposure time of 1500 ms.
[0433] Figure 21 A shows that the secondary RCA product is not produced in the absence of the initial RCA product. Fig...

[0434] Example 3 - Blocking the 3' end of the probe to avoid target-templated extension and subsequent probe transition from the first (initial) Importance of displacement of RCA products
[0435] Streptavidin-coated slides (SurModics) were compartmentalized with secure-Seal 8 (Grace Bio-labs) prior to the experiment. In each reaction chamber, 50 μl of 1 pM synthetic biotinylated DNA template was incubated in 1× PBS at 37° C. for 60 minutes. After incubation, block with blocking buffer (0.1% BSA (Sigma), 100nM goat IgG (Sigma), 1mM biotin (Sigma), 10ng / μl salmon sperm DNA (Sigma), 5mM EDTA, 1x PBS and 0.05% Tween 20) Slides were blocked at 37°C for 60 minutes. A wash step (with 2 replicates of 50 μl 1×PBS 0.05% Tween20) was performed before each addition of a new mixture to remove previous incubation reagents.
[0436] Add 50 μl of ligation mix (1x NEB4 buffer (NEB), 0.5 μg / μl BSA (NEB), 15 units of T4 DNA ligase (Fermentas) and 0.5 mM ATP (Fermentas)) and 100 nM of padl...
