Aptamer nano-flares for molecular detection in living cells.
We demonstrate a composite nanomaterial, termed an aptamer nano-flare, that can directly quantify an intracellular analyte in a living cell. Aptamer nano-flares consist of a gold nanoparticle core functionalized with a dense monolayer of nucleic acid aptamers with a high affinity for adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The probes bind selectively to target molecules and release fluorescent reporters ...
متن کاملSNP Detection in mRNA in Living Cells Using Allele Specific FRET Probes
Live mRNA detection allows real time monitoring of specific transcripts and genetic alterations. The main challenge of live genetic detection is overcoming the high background generated by unbound probes and reaching high level of specificity with minimal off target effects. The use of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) probes allows differentiation between bound and unbound probes t...
متن کاملDetection of mRNA in living cells by double-stranded locked nucleic acid probes.
Double-stranded probes are homogeneous biosensors for rapid detection of specific nucleotide sequences. These double-stranded probes have been applied in various molecular sensing applications, such as real-time polymerase chain reaction and detection of bacterial 16S rRNA. In this study, we present the design and optimization of double-stranded probes for single-cell gene expression analysis i...
متن کاملDual FRET molecular beacons for mRNA detection in living cells.
The ability to visualize in real-time the expression level and localization of specific endogenous RNAs in living cells can offer tremendous opportunities for biological and disease studies. Here we demonstrate such a capability using a pair of molecular beacons, one with a donor and the other with an acceptor fluorophore that hybridize to adjacent regions on the same mRNA target, resulting in ...
متن کاملFluorescent Probes for Highly Selective and Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen Sulfide in living cells and Tissues
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To express recombinant human CYPs (2C8*1,*2,*3,*4, 2C9*1,*3,*13,*16, and 2D6*1,*10), determine their expression levels and activity. Then study their enzyme kinetic characteristics on stereoselective N-demethylation of fluoxetine (FLX). METHODS:. Recombinant human CYPs were prepared with the Spodopterafrugiperda Sf9 cell system. The recombinant human CYPs were subjected to ...
