| 摘要 |
Embodiments of the invention relate generally to methods detecting, quantifying, or purifying nucleic acids by way of agglutination reactions. Several embodiments amplify target nucleic acids while incorporating a label such as 5-methyl-cytosine into amplified product and detecting, quantifying, or purifying the product with latex beads coupled to antibody reactive to the 5-methyl-cytosine labeled nucleic acid. Several embodiments incorporate DNA labels into specifically designed primers in order to detect, quantify, or purify a product after agglutination. |
