Effect of unlabeled helper probes on detection of an RNA target by bead-based sandwich hybridization

Abstract
Unlabeled helper oligonucleotides assisting a bead-based sandwich hybridization assay were tested for the optimal placement of the capture and detection probes. The target used was a full-length in... Helper Probes Chip In Annealing of a “helper” oligonucleotide probe directly adjacent to a labeled detection probe can enhance hybridization specificity and signal intensity in various nucleic acid...
