Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Activation with 2,4-Phenylenediisothiocyanate and Their Covalent Grafting onto Amine-Functionalized Latex Microspheres

Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Activation with 2,4-Phenylenediisothiocyanate and Their Covalent Grafting onto Amine-Functionalized Latex Microspheres

The activation of various synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs), bearing a hexamethylamine arm at their 5′-end, with the 2,4-phenylenediisothiocyanate (PDC) was studied. The activation reaction had to be performed within 40 min, because of competitive hydrolysis of the isothiocyanate functions....

Description
Summary:The activation of various synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs), bearing a hexamethylamine arm at their 5′-end, with the 2,4-phenylenediisothiocyanate (PDC) was studied. The activation reaction had to be performed within 40 min, because of competitive hydrolysis of the isothiocyanate functions. ODN modifications were then characterized by different analytical methods i.e. gel capillary electrophoresis, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization-Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Moreover, activation of the amine groups of the nucleic bases was evidenced through the chemical analysis of the enzymatic-digested conjugate (PDC-ODN) by reverse phase HPLC. Preliminary results on the covalent grafting of activated ODN molecules onto the aminated latex particles showed that the amount of grafted ODNs was directly related to the number of potential grafting sites on the nucleic acid probe (primary amine group of hexamethyl arm and amine functions of the nucleic bases).
