High Throughput Molecular Confirmation of β-Thalassemia Mutations Using Novel TaqMan Probes
β-Thalassemia is a public health problem where 4.5% of Malaysians are β-thalassemia carriers. The genetic disorder is caused by defects in the β-globin gene complex which lead to reduced or complete absence of β-globin chain synthesis. Five TaqMan genotyping assays were designed and developed to detect the common β-thalassemia mutations in Malaysian Malays. The assays were evaluated with 219...
متن کاملDesign of luciferase-displaying protein nanoparticles for use as highly sensitive immunoassay detection probes.
In this study, we developed a protein nanoparticle-based immunoassay to detect cancer biomarkers using a bioluminescent fusion protein. This method relies on the use of protein nanoparticles comprised of genetically-engineered elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) fused with poly-aspartic acid tails (ELP-D), previously developed in our lab. The sizes of the self-assembled ELP-D nanoparticles can be ...
متن کاملBioluminescent stem-loop probes for highly sensitive nucleic acid detection.
Here, we report the first bioluminescent stem-loop probe, which is 50 times more sensitive and able to achieve a LOD 25 times lower than fluorescent stem-loop probes. Chemical generation of a signal from Renilla luciferase reduces background noise for improved quantitative utility in nucleic acid biomarker detection.
متن کاملHighly sensitive protein detection using enzyme-labeled gold nanoparticle probes.
A highly sensitive protein detection method based on a novel enzyme-labeled gold nanoparticle (AuNP) probe has been developed. In this method, we firstly prepared the enzyme-labeled AuNP probe by coating AuNP with antibody, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Magnetic microparticle (MMP) functionalized with another antibody was used as capture probe. Then, target prot...
متن کاملAsymmetric real-time PCR and multiplex melting curve analysis with TaqMan probes for detecting PIK3CA mutations
The data in this article are related to the research article entitled "Optimization of melting analysis with TaqMan probes for detection of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations" Botezatu et al. [1]. Somatic mutations in the PIK3CA gene ("hot spots" in exons 9 and 20) are found in many human cancers, and their presence can determine prognosis and a treatment strategy. An effective method of mutation s...
