USE OF PROBES FOR MASS SPECTROMETRIC IDENTIFICATION OF MICROORGANISMS OR CELLS AND ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS OF INTEREST |
摘要 |
This invention pertains to identifying one or more hybridization probes sequestered within (or optionally released from the intact) cells or microorganisms by mass spectrometry to thereby determine a trait of the cells or microorganisms and/or to identify the cells or microorganisms themselves. The cells or microorganisms can come from a subject and the information obtained from the mass spectrometry analysis may, if clinically relevant, optionally be used to diagnose and/or treat the subject. |

1. A method comprising: 1) contacting microorganisms or cells of a sample with one or more hybridization probes for a period of time and under conditions sufficient for said hybridization probes to sequence specifically hybridize to their respective target sequences, if present, within said microorganisms or cells; 2) washing said microorganisms or cells to remove excess hybridization probes; and 3) analyzing said microorganisms or cells by mass spectrometry to identify one or more hybridization probes retained within said microorganisms or cells at a time after performing step 2. |
