Dendrimer-like polymeric DNAs as chemiluminescence probes for amplified detection of telomere DNA on a solid-phase membrane

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jan 25;50(7):859-61. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47454b.

Abstract

For the first time, an amplified chemiluminescence (CL) detection of the telomere DNA spotted on a nylon membrane is described here, based on the direct hybridization with the CL probe of dendrimer-like polymeric DNAs possessing a large number of guanine moieties. This probe was synthesized by sense and antisense hybridization between Y-shaped DNAs and then could hybridize with the target DNA.
