摘要 |
Complementary DNA ("cDNA") probes that hybridize to specific DNA targets or consensus sequences, specifically a cDNA probe having attached thereto at least one fluorescent molecule (called a "photofluor" or "fluorophore") which fluoresces at a detectable wavelength (for example over autofluorescence) when suitably excited and assayed, and further to methods of making cDNA-photofluor probes, assay methods of determining positive binding between a cDNA-photofluor probe and its target consensus sequence, and methods of using cDNA-photofluor probes. |
