Abstract: | This communication reports on a novel biosensor to study the hybridization specificity by using thiolated hairpin locked nucleic acids (LNA) as the capture probe. The LNA probe was immobilized on the gold electrode through sulfur–Au interaction and could selectively hybridize with its target DNA. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to monitor the hybridization reaction on the probe electrode. The decrease of the peak current of methylene blue, an electroactive indicator, was observed upon hybridization of the probe with the target DNA. The results indicated this new method has excellent specificity for single-base mismatch and complementary after hybridization, and a high sensitivity. This LNA probe has been used for assay of fusion gene in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) of the real sample with satisfactory result. |
