Gold nanoparticle probe-based gene expression analysis with unamplified total human RNA.
Microarray-based gene expression analysis plays a pivotal role in modern biology and is poised to enter the field of molecular diagnostics. Current microarray-based gene expression systems typically require enzymatic conversion of mRNA into labeled cDNA or cRNA. Conversion to cRNA involves a target amplification step that overcomes the low sensitivity associated with commonly used fluorescent d...
متن کاملSurface plasmon enhanced energy transfer between gold nanorods and fluorophores: application to endocytosis study and RNA detection.
Previously we have demonstrated surface plasmon enhanced energy transfer between fluorophores and gold nanorods under two-photon excitation using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) in both solution and intracellular phases. These studies demonstrated that gold nanoparticle-dye energy transfer combinations are appealing, not only in Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging, ...
متن کاملModeling the crystallization of spherical nucleic acid nanoparticle conjugates with molecular dynamics simulations.
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the crystallization of spherical nucleic-acid (SNA) gold nanoparticle conjugates, guided by sequence-specific DNA hybridization events. Binary mixtures of SNA gold nanoparticle conjugates (inorganic core diameter in the 8-15 nm range) are shown to assemble into BCC, CsCl, AlB(2), and Cr(3)Si crystalline structures, depending upon particle stoichiom...
متن کاملThioctic acid derivatives as building blocks to incorporate DNA oligonucleotides onto gold nanoparticles.
Oligonucleotide gold nanoparticle conjugates are being used as diagnostic tools and gene silencing experiments. Thiol-chemistry is mostly used to functionalize gold nanoparticles with oligonucleotides and to incorporate DNA or RNA molecules onto gold surfaces. However, the stability of such nucleic acid-gold nanoparticle conjugates in certain conditions may be a limitation due to premature brea...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Test for Quantitative and Qualitative Recognition of H5 Subtype of Avian Influenza Viruses
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) affect a wide range of birds and mammals, cause severe economic damage to the poultry industry, and pose a serious threat to humans. Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAI) H5N1 were first identified in Southeast Asia in 1996 and spread to four continents over the following years. The viruses have caused high mortality in chickens and various bird species ...
