[Use of diethylenetriaminochloroplatinum in hybridization analysis of specific nucleic acid sequences]
Abstract:
Monofunctional platinum compound [Pt(dien)Cl] Cl and high-affinity antibodies against DNA-[Pt(dien)Cl]Cl were suggested for non-radioactive hybridisation analysis of DNA. The simple labelling procedure was based on mixing the reagents followed by the incubation for 2 h at 60 degrees C. The sensitivity and specificity of the technique were sufficient to detect 10 fg DNA in dot-hybridisation without cross-reaction with 10-fold excess of a heterologous DNA. This technique permits genome libraries screening.

Labeling DNA Probes
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...
Southern Blot
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...
