离子交换色谱法研究蛋白质与RNA的结合特异性

RNA是以磷酸二酯键相连的核苷酸组成的聚阴离子,而蛋白质在PH小于它的等电点的缓冲溶液中带有正电性.因此,它们在离子交换色谱分子时能出现在差异很大的洗脱组分中.据此.我们设计了用离子交换色谱法研究蛋白质与RNA的结合特异性方法,用以研究位于T细胞核内的具有RNA结合活性的蛋白质人环素33(hCyP33)与不同RNA的结合特性.结果表明,人亲环素33只有ply(A)尾序列结构的mRNA,即poly(A)^ RNA发生特异性结合.     

Detection of Hepatitis B Virus DNA by Duplex Scorpion Primer-based PCR Assay

The application of a new fluorogenic probe-based PCR assay (PCR duplex scorpion primer assay) to the detection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in human sera was described. Duplex scorpion primer is a modified variant of duplex Amplifluor, and the incorporation of a PCR stopper between probe and primer sequences improve the detection specificity and sensitivity. Combined with PCR amplification, this probe can give unambiguous positive results for the reactions initiated with more than 20 HBV molecules. In addition, the particular unimolecular probing mechanism of this probe makes the use of short target-specific probe sequence possible, which will render this probe applicable in some specific systems.
