81 results about "Molecular beacon" patented technology

Molecular beacons are oligonucleotide hybridization probes that can report the presence of specific nucleic acids in homogenous solutions. The term more often used is molecular beacon probes. Molecular beacons are hairpin shaped molecules with an internally quenched fluorophore whose fluorescence is restored when they bind to a target nucleic acid sequence. This is a novel non-radioactive method for detecting specific sequences of nucleic acids. They are useful in situations where it is either not possible or desirable to isolate the probe-target hybrids from an excess of the hybridization probes.

The invention discloses a typing analysis method for extracellular vesicles secreted by tumor cells and immune cells, which comprises the following steps: designing a PD-L1 protein recognition aptamer PD-L1-L, an EpCAM protein recognition aptamer EpCAM-L and a molecular beacon according to different expression levels of surface markers of the extracellular vesicles (PD-L1 + and EpCAM +) derived from the tumor cells and the extracellular vesicles (PD-L1 + and EpCAM-) derived from the immune cells; when the DNA probe recognizes the extracellular vesicles, fluorescence of the Cy5-PD-L1-L aptamer of the tumor cell source extracellular vesicles is quenched, a fluorescence signal of the Connector is recovered, and the immune cell source extracellular vesicles do not respond, so that the two extracellular vesicles are subjected to typing analysis. The method has the advantages that the extracellular vesicles of different cell sources can be subjected to typing analysis by using a strategy based on double aptamers and double switches, and false positive signals caused by single aptamer recognition are avoided.

Molecule beacon-based hybridization sensor for the detection of a single nucleotide variation in folded nucleic acids

PendingUS20250129409A1Microbiological testing/measurementFluorescence/phosphorescenceLow affinityHybridization probe
Hybridization probes have been used in the detection of specific nucleic acids for the last 50 years. Despite the extensive efforts and the great significance, the challenges of the commonly used probes include (1) low selectivity in detecting single nucleotide variations (SNV) at low (e.g., room or 37° C.) temperatures; (2) low affinity in binding folded nucleic acids, and (3) the cost of fluorescent probes. To address all three issues, a multicomponent hybridization probe, called OWL2 sensor, is introduced. OWL2 sensor uses two analyte binding arms to tightly bind and unwind folded nucleic acid analytes, and two sequence-specific strands that bind both the analyte and a universal molecular beacon (UMB) probe to form fluorescent ‘OWL’ structure. OWL2 sensor can differentiate single base variations in folded analytes in a temperature range of 5-38° C. The design is cost-efficient since the same optimized fluorescently labeled UMB probe can be used for the detection of any analyte sequence.
