ACTIVATABLE PROBES AND METHODS FOR IN VIVO GENE DETECTION

摘要

Probes for detecting a target polynucleotide are provided. One aspect provides a molecular beacon probe set wherein the donor molecular beacon comprises a quantum dot and an acceptor molecular beacon comprises at least one reporter. The probes optionally comprise a protein transduction domain, targeting signal, or a combination thereof. Methods for detecting target polynucleotides using the disclosed probes are also provided.
