Labeling DNA Probes03:31

Labeling DNA Probes

DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simple QD labeling protocol for rat endothelial progenitor cells.
  • Characterization of QD optical properties (e.g., fluorescence intensity, spectral shifts) post-labeling.
  • In vitro assessment of QD-cell interactions and their effect on optical characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Successful and simple labeling of rat endothelial progenitor cells with QDs was achieved.
