| 摘要 |
A method is disclosed for detecting single-stranded target nucleic acid (2) which comprises the steps of forming a hybrid between said target nucleic ac id and a nucleic acid probe (4), said nucleic acid probe labelled with an enzym e reagent (6) which hydrolyses single-stranded nucleic acid but is substantial ly without effect on double-stranded nucleic acid, said hybrid formed under conditions of pH which are outside the activity range of said enzyme reagent , adjusting said pH to a value within the activity range of said enzyme reagen t, allowing said enzyme reagent substantially to hydrolyse any single-stranded nucleic acid present, and detecting said hybrid.
