Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tumor detection, and in particular relates to a simple and sensitive naked-eye colorimetric detection method for telomerase activity in cancer cells based on the color change of the solution. Background technique
[0002] Telomere is a special structure located at the end of chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. It is composed of telomere DNA and telomere-related proteins. The telomere DNA is composed of non-coding repeat sequences. Different species have different repeat sequences, such as human telomere The DNA is composed of 5'-TTAGGG-3' repeat sequence, and the length ranges from 4 to 15kb. The main function of telomeres is to protect the ends of chromosomes, prevent chromosome fusion, recombination and degradation. In normal cells, as the cells proliferate, the telomeres will gradually shorten. When the telomeres shorten to a certain extent, the chromosomes will become unstable, and the cells will age an...
