This invention relates to the field of biodetection technology, specifically to a non-isolated digital
multiplex detection method based on
a DNA walker and TdT
enzyme amplification. The method first utilizes coding microspheres with capture elements coupled to their surface to specifically bind to target miRNAs or proteins in the sample; then, specific guide
DNA (gDNA) corresponding to the target molecule is released through
enzymatic digestion or
thermal denaturation; the gDNA then... Pf Under the action of Ago
endonuclease, the
DNA walker on the surface of the encoded microspheres is activated, cyclically
cutting the orbital strand to generate multiple
DNA fragments with 3'-hydroxyl ends. Finally, TdT
enzyme is used to extend fluorescently labeled nucleotides at the hydroxyl ends, achieving in-situ
signal amplification, and digital quantitative analysis is performed on the
fluorescence signal of the encoded microspheres. This invention achieves high-sensitivity detection of multiple targets in a single reaction without chamber isolation, with detection limits for each target molecule reaching the fM or fg / mL level, providing an effective technical means for the early screening of major diseases such as Alzheimer's.
