摘要:
The invention provides a method for detecting and quantifying the amount of target molecules, such as nucleic acids or proteins in a sample. The target molecules are first recognized and bounded by target-specific probes, generally nucleic acids or proteins that bind specifically to the targets, each of which is labeled with a short single-stranded nucleic acid probe, either DNA or RNA, with distinct molecular weight. This label is called an oligonucleotide mass tag. One or several standard oligonucleotide sequences can be designed with similar sequence but distinct molecular weight to those oligonucleotide mass tags. Then the oligonucleotide mass tags associated with bounded probes and the standard sequences are co-amplified using a pair of common primers. The presence and/or amount of each oligonucleotide mass tag, which corresponds to the amount of corresponding target molecule, is determined by a primer extension reaction and quantification of the primer extension product.

The present invention provides methods for rapid forensic investigations by identification of bioagents associated with biowarfare and acts of terrorism or crime. The methods are also useful for epidemiological investigations by genotyping of bioagents.
摘要:
A multi-dimensional method for simultaneously analyzing multiple analytes within a sample solution, comprising adding affinity selectors to a sample solution containing analytes to be measured, the affinity selectors having an affinity for one or more of the analytes within the sample solution; allowing immune complexes to form between the affinity selectors and the analytes; partially or totally resolving the formed immune complexes from non-analyte substances within the sample solution; dissociating the resolved immune complexes; separating the analytes and the affinity selectors of the dissociated immune complexes from one another by capturing the analytes through a surface adsorption process; transferring the captured analytes to a detection means; and resolving the analytes with the detection means in accordance with their mass-to-charge ratios.
