Definitions
- nucleic acid molecules present in experimental or diagnostic samples Many of these techniques are assays wherein the sample is placed in contact with a solid support.
- the solid support contains nucleic acid molecules which have been immobilized by covalent or noncovalent attachment. Immobilization of a nucleic acid molecule to a spatially defined position on a solid support can be used in many ways . These uses include : hybridization assays which are able to identify an individual nucleic acid of interest present in an experimental or diagnostic sample containing multiple unique nucleic acids (Southern, Trends in Genetics
- the nucleic acids are deposited on the support either by hand or by automated liquid handling equipment (Lamture et al . , Nucleic Acids Research 22:2121-2125 (1994); Yershov et al . , Proc . Natl . Acad. Sci . USA 93:4913-4918 (1996)).
- the support, the nucleic acids, or both are chemically activated prior to deposition.
- the nucleic acids can be deposited on the support and nonspecifically immobilized by physical means such as heat or irradiation with ultraviolet light (Life Science Research Product Catalog, BioRad Laboratories, Richmond, CA, pg.269-273 (1996); Meinkoth and Wahl , Analyti cal Biochemi stry 138:267-284 (1984)).
- physical means such as heat or irradiation with ultraviolet light (Life Science Research Product Catalog, BioRad Laboratories, Richmond, CA, pg.269-273 (1996); Meinkoth and Wahl , Analyti cal Biochemi stry 138:267-284 (1984)).
- chemically mediated coupling is preferred since specific, well defined attachments can be accomplished, thereby minimizing the risk of unwanted artifacts from the immobilization process.
- oiigonucieotides are synthesized directly on the support using chemical methods based on those used for solid phase nucleic acid synthesis (Southern et al . , Nucleic Acids Research 22:1368-1373 (1994)). Recently, specialized apparatus and photolithographic methods have been introduced which allow the synthesis of many different oiigonucieotides at discrete, well-defined positions on planar glass or silica supports (Pease et al . , Proc . Natl Acad. Sci . USA 51:5022-5026 (1994)). In general, these methods are most useful for applications which require many hundreds or thousands of different immobilized nucleic acids, such as sequencing by hybridization.
- Yet another method presently in use to couple a nucleic acid molecule to a solid support involves the formation of an electroconducting conjugated polymerized layer (Livache et al . , Nucleic Acids Research 22:2915- 2921 (1994) ) .
- This polymerized layer is formed by copolymerization of a mixture containing pyrrole monomers and oiigonucieotides covalently linked to a pyrrole monomer.
- the copolymerization reaction initiates following application of an electrical charge through the electrode which has been placed into the mixture containing the copolymerizable components.
- the dimensions of the polymerized layer which coats the surface of the electrode can be varied by adjusting the surface area of the electrode which is placed into the mixture .
- the polymerized layer which coats the surface of an electrode can not be formed on a solid support which is not able to transmit an electrical charge into the mixture containing the copolymerizable monomer units.
- Most of the other disclosed methods are also limited to solid supports of a particular type.
- several of these methods require special types of equipment, and involve a degree of technical difficulty which may make it difficult to covalently link a nucleic acid molecule to a solid support in a reproducible manner.
- the invention relates in one aspect to a polymerizable complex comprising a nucleic acid molecule which is derivatized by attachment to a first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit which, under appropriate conditions, is capable of copolymerization with a second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit.
- the copolymerization produces a polymerized layer which contains the covalently linked nucleic acid molecule.
- the nucleic acid molecule is attached to the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit either directly or through a chemical linker group.
- the present invention relates to a /3-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite reagent comprising:
- the present invent ion relates to a /3- cyanoethyl phosphoramidite reagent comprising :
- X contains either a polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit, or a chemically protected version of same which can be deprotected using appropriate techniques
- DMT is a 4 , 4 ' -dimethoxytrity group .
- the invention relates in another aspect to a support for oligonucleotide synthesis having the general structure :
- S is a solid support material and L is a linker group.
- the linker group is cleavable by appropriate means at the end of oligonucleotide synthesis to release the completed oligonucleotide product.
- X contains either a polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit or a chemically protected version of same, which can be deprotected using appropriate techniques, and DMT is a 4,4' -dimethoxytrityl group .
- S is a support material
- L is a linker group
- X contains either a polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit, or a chemically protected version of same which can be deprotected using appropriate techniques
- DMT is a 4 , 4 ' -dimethoxytrity group.
- the first polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit is a derivative of acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylic acid, or methacrylic acid.
- the present invention further relates to a polymerized composition which is produced by a method comprising incubating a polymerizable complex and at least one second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit under conditions appropriate for polymerization.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a polymerized composition by incubating a polymerizable complex and at least one second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit under conditions appropriate for polymerization.
- the present invention relates to a composition
- a composition comprising a formed material which is linked covalently to a nucleic acid-containing a polymerized coating layer, produced by providing a formed material bearing ethylene groups on an exposed surface. Under appropriate polymerization conditions, the formed material bearing exposed polymerizable ethylene groups is contacted with a solution comprising the polymerizable nucleic acid complex and at least one second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit with which the polymerizable nucleic acid complex is capable of copolymerizing.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing a composition comprising a formed material which is linked covalently to a nucleic acid-containing polymerized coating layer.
- the method comprises providing a formed material bearing polymerizable ethylene groups on an exposed surface.
- the exposed surface of the formed material is contacted with a solution comprising a polymerizable complex, said polymerizable complex being capable of copolymerization in the presence of at least one second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit under appropriate conditions.
- the present invention is based on the development of a polymerizable complex comprised of a first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit covalently linked to a nucleic acid molecule.
- the preferred polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units include derivatives of acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and structurally related amides and esters thereof.
- these monomer units are widely commercially available, easy to polymerize using standard chemical procedures, and most are water soluble (Sandier and Karo, Polymer Synthesi s Vol. 1, Ch. 10 and 12, Academic Press, Inc. (1992); Sandier and Karo, Polymer Synthesis Vol. 2, Ch. 9, Academic Press, Inc. (1994) ) .
- the attachment of the first polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit to the nucleic acid to form a polymerizable complex can be direct or indirect. If indirect, the attachment is made through a chemical linker group. Direct coupling involves the linkage of the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit to the nucleic acid without the use of a linker. For many hybridization or polymerase extension assays, indirect attachment using a hydrophilic chemical linker group is preferred, in order to reduce steric hindrance between the immobilized nucleic acid and the support.
- the modified first polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit is mixed with a second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit which is not attached to a nucleic acid molecule and a chemical polymerization initiator, the resultant polymerization reaction yields a polymerized layer to which the nucleic acid is covalently attached.
- a polymerized layer formed in this manner consists of an interwoven network of linear polymer chains.
- a cross-linking reagent comprised of a multifunctional monomer unit containing two or more polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units can be added to the polymerization reaction as taught in the prior art (Sandier and Karo, Polymer Synthesis Vol. 1, Ch. 10 and 12, Academic Press, Inc.
- Preferred cross-linking reagents include the bis-acrylates, N, N' methylene (bis) acrylamide and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate .
- the polymerized layer acts as a solid matrix which anchors the nucleic acid molecules to a defined locus and allows the nucleic acid molecules to be conveniently used in various experimental and diagnostic techniques.
- the polymerized layer may be deposited in a number of shapes. These include spots, strips, cylinders, uniform planar layers, beads as well as other shapes not disclosed above depending on the needs of the specific assay.
- more than one unique first modified i.e., modified by attachment to a nucleic acid molecule
- more than one unique second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit can be mixed with a chemical polymerizing initiator to form the polymerized layer provided that each species participates in the copolymerization.
- the polymerized layer will be formed from a mixture containing one or two unique first modified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units, one unique second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit, and a cross-linking reagent.
- the polymerized layer can be produced in a variety of embodiments depending upon the intended application.
- the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit is covalently attached to a nucleic acid molecule. Described below are several examples of nucleic acid molecules which can be effectively coupled to the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units.
- the covalently attached nucleic acid molecule can be a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule.
- modified DNA which contain an appropriate chemical functionality can be attached to the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units. These include, for example, fragments of genomic DNA, portions of a cDNA, PCR amplified DNA molecules or synthetic oiigonucieotides .
- Both double and single-stranded nucleic acids can be immobilized using the present invention. For applications that require nucleic acid hybridization, immobilized single stranded nucleic acids will be preferred. However, double-stranded nucleic acids can also be immobilized using the present invention, and may be useful for other applications. For instance, immobilized double-stranded DNA probes would be useful to screen for sequence-specific DNA binding agents that recognize double-stranded DNA, such as transciptional regulatory proteins or triplex- forming nucleic acids.
- DNA molecule for attachment to the polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units In addition to the presence of functional chemical groups, a variety of additional issues are considered when selecting a DNA molecule for attachment to the polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units.
- One such issue is the length of the DNA molecule.
- the DNA molecule which is covalently attached to the polymerized layer should be long enough to allow hybridization to nucleic acid molecules contained in an experimental or diagnostic sample.
- the DNA molecule which is attached to the polymerized layer should be short enough that it will not adopt secondary or tertiary structures which inhibit its use as an experimental or diagnostic tool. Therefore, for several significant applications the preferred DNA molecule is an oligonucleotide.
- oiigonucieotides which are covalently attached to an ethylene-containing monomer unit can vary.
- oiigonucieotides having a size which is in the range of 5-50 nucleotides are particularly convenient since they are easy to synthesize chemically, and are water soluble even at high concentrations.
- An additional advantage offered by oiigonucieotides is the high degree of stability exhibited by oiigonucieotides in assays which require high stringency conditions.
- RNA ribonucleic acid
- the preferred RNA molecule is one which is long enough to interact with the target nucleic acid but short enough such that secondary or tertiary structures which could prevent the interaction of the RNA molecule with a target nucleic acid molecule in an experimental or diagnostic sample do not form.
- RNA molecules which is used will depend on the requirements of a particular experimental or diagnostic assay. For instance, for many hybridization assays, the preferred size of RNA molecules will range from 5-50 bases, while in other assays, high molecular weight RNA molecules of several hundred base pairs may be appropriate. Unlike DNA, the use of RNA requires special precautionary handling procedures due to -lithe lability of RNA. At a minimum this requires specially prepared buffers and samples which have been treated to remove RNAse activity. However, complementary RNA-RNA and RNA-DNA duplexes have greater thermal stability than DNA-DNA duplexes, and RNA containing duplexes can be processed by different enzymes than DNA- DNA duplexes.
- RNA-based experimental and diagnostic tests may be useful for RNA-based experimental and diagnostic tests.
- DNA oiigonucieotides containing the four standard deoxynucleotides are most frequently used in assays which incorporate immobilized probes
- probes containing modified nucleotides may also be useful.
- nucleotides containing deazaguanine and uracil bases may be used in place of guanine and thymine- containing nucleotides to decrease the thermal stability of hybridized probes (Wetmur, Cri tical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 26 : 221 -259 (1991)) .
- 5 -methylcytosine can be substituted for cytosine if hybrids of increased thermal stability are desired (Wetmur, Cri tical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 26 : 221 -259 (1991)).
- Modifications to the ribose sugar group, such as the addition of 2'-0- methyl groups can reduce the nuclease susceptibility of immobilized RNA probes (Wagner, Nature 372:333-335 (1994) ) .
- Modifications that remove negative charge from the phosphodiester backbone can increase the thermal stability of hybrids (Moody et al . , Nucleic Acids Research 17:4769-4782 (1989) .
- Nucleic acid analogues can also be useful as immobilized probes.
- An example of a useful nucleic acid analogue is the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) , in which standard DNA bases are attached to a modified peptide backbone comprised of repeating N- (2 -aminoethyl) glycine units (Nielsen et al . , Science 254:1497-1500 (1991)).
- PNA peptide nucleic acid
- the peptide backbone is capable of holding the bases at the proper distance to facilitate hybridization with conventional DNA and RNA single strands.
- PNA-DNA hybrid duplexes are much stronger than otherwise equivalent DNA- DNA duplexes, probably due to the fact that there are no negatively charged phosphodiester linkages in the PNA strand.
- PNAs are very resistant to nuclease degradation.
- PNA analogues are useful for immobilized probe assays. It will be apparent to those of skill in the art that similar modified backbone design strategies can be used to construct other nucleic acid analogues that will exhibit useful properties for immobilized probe assays .
- the nucleic acid may be covalently attached to the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit directly, or it may be attached via a chemical linker group.
- a linker is the chemical constituent which is covalently attached at one point to the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit and covalently attached at a second point to the nucleic acid molecule.
- the result is that the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit is covalently attached to the linker which is covalently attached to the nucleic acid molecule, thereby forming a polymerizable complex.
- the incorporation of a linker group will be preferred to avoid steric interference from the support in hybridization or polymerase extension reactions utilizing the immobilized probe.
- linker itself can consist of many different components, each having a characteristic property offering a unique advantage.
- One skilled in the art of organic synthesis could design and synthesize a great variety of linkers having the required chemical functionality to join the nucleic acid to the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit.
- This listing is by no means comprehensive, a wide array of appropriate linkers can be designed and synthesized through the application of routine experimentation (Sandier and Karo, Polymer Synthesis Vol. 1, Academic Press, Inc. (1992); Sandier and Karo, Polymer Synthesis Vol. 2, Academic Press, Inc. (1994) ) .
- the preferred linker should be hydrophilic, and have the capability to extend out into an aqueous solution and away from the polymer layer.
- the length of the linker can vary, but a longer linker is preferable since such a linker will increase the distance between the nucleic acid and the polymerized layer, thereby reducing inhibition of hybridization due to steric factors.
- the length should be chosen such that the tendency to form secondary and tertiary structures is minimized.
- the linker should not be highly negatively charged.
- a linker which has a negative charge is likely to repel a nucleic acid molecule since the nucleic acid molecule itself exhibits a highly negative charge.
- the polarity of the linker In general, polar linkers should provide better probe accessibility in aqueous assays.
- the chemical bond between the 1inker and the probe should be strong enough to survive harsh conditions, for example, exposure to highly basic denaturing conditions. The bond should also be thermally stable, with the capability to survive prolonged exposure to both high and low temperatures.
- the linker should not be chemically reactive with the nucleic acid molecule, the polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit, or the experimental or diagnostic sample which is to be tested.
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- CH 2 -CH 2 -0 polyethylene glycol
- PEG is capable of forming long chains consisting of between 1 and 10,000 covalently attached repeats of the monomer unit (CH 2 -CH 2 - 0).
- chains longer than 10,000 repeating monomers can also be prepared.
- These PEG chains are hydrophilic, stable under harsh conditions and non- reactive with any of the other components of the polymerizable complex or target molecules present in experimental or diagnostic samples.
- an assay may require a linker which can be cleaved to release the nucleic acid molecule from its attachment to the ethylene-containing monomer unit.
- linker which can be cleaved to release the nucleic acid molecule from its attachment to the ethylene-containing monomer unit.
- linkers can be cleaved, for example, chemically, enzymatically, thermally or by exposure to light.
- linkers containing disulfide bonds are sensitive to chemical cleavage (Mattson et al . , Molecular Biology Reports 17:167-183 (1993)).
- Linkers formed from either carbohydrates or peptides can be sensitive to cleavage by enzymatic means.
- Thermally sensitive and photocleavable linkers offer alternatives to the chemical or enzyme sensitive linkers, however, their use is not compatible with all methods of polymerization. For example, thermal induction of polymerization would result in cleavage of a linker sensitive to heat.
- Covalent attachment of the nucleic acid or nucleic acid analogue to the first polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer group or linker can occur through any functional groups present on the nucleic acid, including the aromatic bases, sugars, and phosphates. Further, additional functional groups such as primary amines and thiols can easily be introduced during automated oligonucleotide synthesis using modified nucleotide or non-nucleotide phosphoramidite precursors. For most applications it will be preferable for the attachment to involve one end of the nucleic acid, to allow maximum accessibility of the immobilized nucleic acid to solution phase assay components. For hybridization applications, attachment can occur at either the 3' or 5' end. For polymerase extension assays, attachment must occur so that a free 3' hydroxyl group is available for priming.
- Attachment can also involve functional groups on internal portions of the nucleic acid.
- Interior groups for coupling can be functional groups on the nucleotide bases, on the sugars, and on the phosphates.
- Additional chemical groups for internal attachment can be provided by chemically modifying the nucleotide bases, sugars, or phosphates. Such chemically modified positions could be incorporated during oligonucleotide synthesis or they could be added post-synthetically.
- Other groups for internal attachment can be provided by incorporating special non-nucleotide spacer phosphoramidites that carry the desired chemical functionality during oligonucleotide synthesis .
- the preferred structures are derivatives of acrylic acid, acrylamide, methacrylic acid, or methacrylamide .
- the preferred structures for the second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units include, but are not limited to, acrylic acid, acrylamide, methacrylic acid, methacrylamide, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, methyl -methacrylate and acrylate esters such as 2- hydroxyethylmethacrylate .
- An example of an appropriate second polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit is 3- (trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (Polysciences, Inc. Catalog, Warrington, PA, pg. 22
- the present invention also relates to methods for the production of a polymerized layer containing at least one nucleic acid molecule covalently attached.
- the polymerized layer itself can be formed into a variety of shapes, including but not limited to a flat planar sheet, a cylinder or a bead.
- the polymerized product can be formed through a molding process, for example.
- a preferred form, the bead can be produced by introducing droplets of an aqueous polymerizing mixture into mineral oil or- another appropriate immiscible organic solvent.
- the method involves preparing a mixture comprising a first modified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit, with a second unmodified polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit.
- a polymerizing reagent is added to the mixture.
- a cross- linking reagent can be added when the preferred polymerized layer is not a linear structure and additional strength and durability are required.
- the ratio of the first modified and second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units in the mixture can vary. Generally, it is important that the first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit be present at a sufficiently high percentage such that the attached nucleic acid molecule exposed at the surface of the polymerized product is present at sufficiently high levels to facilitate the intended application. Routine experimentation may be necessary to determine optimum ratios for particular applications.
- an acrylamide gel containing 5-40% (weight monomer/volume) acrylamide, with N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide added as a cross-linker (weight ratio of 20 acrylamide :1 bis-acrylamide) can be used.
- N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide added as a cross-linker weight ratio of 20 acrylamide :1 bis-acrylamide
- the mixture used to create a polymerized layer can be composed of more than one first modified and/or more than one second unmodified polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer units.
- the preferred nucleic acid molecule will be an oligonucleotide produced using standard automated synthetic methods which utilize beta- cyanoethyl phosphoramidite substrates (Caruthers et al . , Methods in Enzymology 154 , 287-313 (1987)). For this reason, it would facilitate practice of the invention if one or more first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units could be added to the nucleic acid during automated synthesis of the nucleic acid molecule.
- Phosphoramidites which can be used for this purpose have the general formula a) or b) shown below:
- DMT indicates a 4 , 4 ' -dimethoxytrityl group

- Compounds of type a) are useful for incorporating first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit chemical groups at the 5' terminal position of the oligonucleotide.
- Compounds of type b) can be used for incorporating first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit chemical groups anywhere within the oligonucleotide except at the residue which links the growing oligonucleotide to the solid phase support used for oligonucleotide synthesis.
- S is a support material suitable for automated oligonucleotide synthesis
- L is a linker group joining the support and the alkyl amine group
- X is either a polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit, or a chemically protected version of a polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit which can be deprotected by a suitable process
- DMT is a 4 , 4 ' -dimethoxytrity group.
- Materials suitable for the synthetic supports described above include cross-linked polystyrene and controlled pore glass.
- formation of a polymerized layer by chemical initiation includes copolymerization reactions that occur when a polymerizing reagent is added to a mixture consisting of a first modified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit, and at least one second unmodified ethylene-containing monomer unit. Following addition of the polymerizing reagent to the mixture, a polymerized layer forms spontaneously.
- a polymerized layer is formed in this manner by creating a mixture containing a first polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer unit consisting of either N- (3 -aminopropyl) -acrylamide or N- (3-aminopropyl) - methacrylamide, covalently attached to a nucleic acid by means of a linker, and a second polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer unit consisting of unmodified acrylamide monomers in solution.
- Polymerization can be initiated chemically by the addition of ammonium persulfate and ⁇ N ⁇ N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) to the polymerization reaction.
- TEMED ⁇ N ⁇ N'-tetramethylethylenediamine
- Polymerization reactions useful for the invention can proceed by radical or ionic chain-reaction mechanisms.
- the radical chain- reaction mechanisms will be preferred since it occurs more efficiently in aqueous solution.
- Initiation can be accomplished using chemical means, photochemical means, thermal means, or through the use of ionizing radiation.
- a light source is directed into a solution containing the first modified and second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units.
- the use of light is described in greater detail in the Exemplification section which follows. Briefly, to the mixture containing the first modified and second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units, a photosensitive polymerizing reagent is added to the mixture containing the first modified and second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units. This photosensitive polymerizing reagent is able to initiate the polymerization reaction when it is exposed to light.
- photosensitive polymerization reagents include riboflavin, benzoin, benzoin ethyl ether, camphorquinone and benzophenone .
- a cross-linking reagent can be added to the mixture .
- catalysis of polymerization occurs when heat is applied to a mixture containing the first modified and second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units and a polymerizing reagent.
- the polymerizing reagents that can be used to initiate polymerization following the application of heat include initiator compounds which decompose to free radicals upon application of heat. Examples of such initiators include dibenzoyl peroxide and bis-azo compounds such as
- Polymerization can also be initiated by exposing the mixture to a source of ionizing radiation such as gamma radiation. This treatment generates free radicals which can stimulate polymerization of many monomers without the need for chemical initiators or photosensitive reagents.
- the polymerized layer containing a covalently attached nucleic acid molecule is itself covalently linked to a formed material .
- the formed material include glass, plastic, metal, ceramic, or composite compounds such as carbon fiber. Each of these types of formed materials are capable of creating a covalent linkage to the polymerized layer following chemical modification of their surfaces such that polymerizable side chains are left exposed.
- these polymerizable side chains can be created, for example, by treatment of the glass surface with an organosilane which contains polymerizable ethylene- containing chemical groups.
- organosilane which contains polymerizable ethylene- containing chemical groups.
- organosilane is 3- (trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate.
- the methoxy groups hydrolyze to yield silanol groups.
- silanols can condense with surface silanol groups on glass or silica surfaces, to produce covalent siloxane linkages.
- the treated surface is coated with covalently bound methacrylate groups that can serve as second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units for copolymerization attachment.
- Modified organosilane offers the advantage of spontaneous attachment to those glass surfaces it comes in contact with.
- the modified organosilane-based side chains attached to a glass surface can polymerize with both the first modified and unattached second unmodified polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer units during the creation of the polymerized layer.
- glass and plastic offer the advantage that they are inexpensive and can be molded into a variety of shapes depending on the desired usage.
- glass and plastic can be formed into beads, flat supports, tubes with or without an enclosed bottom, or long thin wire-like fibers.
- glass and plastic beads can be created in a variety of different sizes ranging from only a few microns to as large as a few millimeters.
- Glass can also be formed into optical fibers, nonplanar or planar sheets, cylinders, and containers for liquid samples.
- glass is prepared such that the polymerized layer is covalently attached to the glass surface. Briefly, the glass is cleaned with nitric acid, washed with water and acetone, then air-dried. Next, the cleaned glass is soaked in a modified silane solution. As stated above, this results in the coating of the glass surface with covalently attached silane molecules which contain polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units.
- optical fibers can be used individually or in groups known as bundles. Briefly, a portion of a single optical fiber, or a bundle of optical fibers, is immersed in a mixture containing the polymerizing reagent, the first modified and the second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units. A cross-linking reagent can also be added to the mixture. Following immersion in the mixture, light is passed through a predetermined optical fiber or fibers. A polymerized layer covalently attaches to the silanized surface at the tip of the optical fiber or fibers through which light was passed. Those optical fibers present in the bundle through which light was not passed remain uncoated.
- Optical fibers not coated during the first polymerization reaction can be coated with a second polymerized layer containing a second nucleic acid distinct from the nucleic acid of the first polymerized layer, during a second polymerization reaction.
- the tip of each optical fiber in the bundle can be coated with a unique nucleic acid molecule.
- Such bundles of optical fibers are useful for multi-analyte assays.
- Another type of formed glass that can be covalently attached to a polymerized layer or multiple polymerized layers, each of which is covalently linked to a nucleic acid molecule is a slide or coverslip.
- the glass slide or coverslip is first treated with modified silane as described above.
- the polymerization reaction can be initiated using either chemical catalysis, light-induced catalysis or thermally- induced catalysis.
- the polymerizing reagent added to the mixture will depend on the method of polymerization.
- a cross-linking reagent can also be added.
- Glass slides and coverslips are also useful for multi-analyte assays in which the sample is applied to a surface containing an array of immobilized nucleic acid probes.
- the present invention is useful for these inventions since it is easy to pipette discrete noncontiguous spots of polymerization mixtures onto the surface of an appropriately treated glass sheet, each polymerization mixture containing a unique hybridization probe. Following polymerization, each spot will contain a single hybridization probe which can be identified from its position within the array. Pipetting can be performed manually or robotically. Sophisticated imaging techniques can be used to analyze hybridization of fluorescently labeled samples to such arrays as used in high throughput screening methods .
- Plastic is another formed material which can be treated such that reactive side chains are created on the surface. These surface reactive side chains are covalently linked to polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units. As described for glass above, when the reactive side chains are exposed to a mixture containing the polymerizing reagent, the first modified and the second unattached, unmodified polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer units, a polymerization reaction ensues which coats the plastic with a polymerized layer which is covalently attached.
- a wide variety of shaped plastic materials in common usage in connection with molecular biological techniques can be modified in this manner.
- test tube examples include multi-welled plates, flat sheets, tubes with or without enclosed bottoms (e.g., test tube, microfuge tube and a cylindrical tube open at both ends), beads, and optical fibers.
- the test tube and microfuge tube both are capable of holding a liquid sample while the pipe-like tube can have a sample put through it .
- Methods for coating a formed material other than glass or plastic with a polymerized layer are similar to those described above. Briefly, the formed material is treated such that reactive side chains are created which can be covalently linked to polymerizable ethylene- containing monomer units .
- the formed material is placed in a mixture containing the polymerizing reagent, the first modified and second unmodified polymerizable ethylene-containing monomer units. During polymerization, the reactive side chains on the formed material will polymerize with the components of the mixture to form a polymerized layer which is covalently attached to the formed material.
- a cross-linking reagent can be added to the mixture depending on the desired structure of the polymerized layer.
- the formed material coated with the polymerized layer containing the covalently attached nucleic acid molecules or the polymerized layers themselves can be used for many different experimental and diagnostic assays.
- glass or plastic beads that are coated with the polymerized layer can be placed in a column to purify and isolate a nucleic acid of interest.
- a solution containing nucleic acids is applied to the column under appropriate conditions such that those nucleic acids present in the sample which are capable of hybridizing to the nucleic acid covalently attached to the polymerized layer, bind to the covalently attached nucleic acid.
- the bound nucleic acids are then eluted off the beads for further study.
- Glass slides, coverslips and optical fiber bundles containing more than one unique nucleic acid sequence which are covalently linked to a polymerized layer which itself is covalently attached to the glass surface can be used for high throughput assays. These assays are effective in screening experimental or diagnostic samples believed to contain a single or multiple nucleic acids of interest.
- these formed glass materials can be used to identify an individual or group of nucleic acids of interest by at least a portion of their sequence. By visualizing the specific polymerized layer the sample nucleic acids bound, identification of the sample nucleic acid, and at least a partial sequence can be accomplished.
- these formed glass materials can be used to identify mutations in sample nucleic acid molecules.
- nucleic acid molecules of known sequence are covalently attached to the formed glass structure by means of the polymerized layer.
- Each of these nucleic acid molecules contains individual or multiple base pair changes in the nucleic acid sequence from that of the wild-type DNA sequence. Identification of the mutant nucleic acid in the sample is determined by which covalently attached nucleic acid it specifically hybridizes to.
- the following example demonstrates a simple and efficient method for attaching a DNA molecule to a solid support.
- an oligonucleotide is exemplified, a variety of different types of nucleic acid molecules can be used.
- the oligonucleotide was chemically modified through the attachment of an aminoacrylate group. Following attachment of the aminoacrylate group, the modified DNA molecule was copolymerized with acrylamide to form an acrylamide gel layer on a solid support.
- the method used to modify an oligonucleotide for use in connection with the present invention involves attaching aminoacrylate groups to the 5' end of the oligonucleotide.
- oiigonucieotides were modified with N- (3-aminopropyl) - acrylamide which was coupled to the 5' terminal phosphate of the DNA molecule using carbodiimide .
- the copolymerization reaction occurs with the subsequent formation of acrylamide gels.
- TTTTTTTTTCGGGATCCCAGGCCCGGGAACGTATTCAC-3' or unmodified 13B oiigonucieotides were copolymerized into 8% (wt/vol) total acrylamide (10:1 weight ratio acrylamide/N,N' methylene bis acrylamide) plugs (50 ⁇ l) with ammonium persulfate and TEMED . After polymerization, the plugs were placed in the wells of a 20% acrylamide gel and electrophoresed to remove unattached oiigonucieotides from the plugs. Following electrophoresis, the plugs and 20% acrylamide gel were stained with SYBR green II (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) and photographed under UV illumination.
- SYBR green II Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR
- Photochemical Probe Attachment by Copolymerization is also possible using the modified oiigonucieotides. This method was accomplished by mixing aminoacrylate-modified oiigonucieotides with an acrylamide gel solution containing riboflavin.
- One glass surface that can be successfully coated in this manner is a glass optical fiber.
- the optical fiber Prior to exposure to the solution containing the modified oligonucleotide and the acrylamide gel solution containing riboflavin, the optical fiber was polished and silanized with an acrylic silane (3-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane) . The silanized tip of the optical fiber was then immersed in the gel solutions while the opposite end of the fiber was illuminated with a light source. A small amount of gel containing immobilized oligonucleotide was formed on the fiber tip.
- Hybridization analysis showed an extremely high level of immobilized oligonucleotide attached to the acrylamide gel coating the fiber tip. More specifically, the experimental protocol involved hybridizing the coated fiber tips to 0.1 ⁇ M complementary 32 P-labeled oligonucleotide probe 13B-C (5' -GTGAATACGTTCCCGGGCCT-3 ' ) , which was 3' end-labeled with terminal transferase and ⁇ - 32 P-labeled dCTP.
- coated tips were hybridized to complementary probe in the presence of a 100-fold excess of unlabeled 13B, and in the presence of a 100-fold excess of unlabeled non-homologous probe Bglo+-c (5' -TGAACGTGGATGAAGTTG) . From the results of these various hybridizations, the quantity of immobilized oligonucleotide present on the coated tip could be deduced. The specific activity of the probe was -12,000 cpm/pmole. Approximately 0.15 pmoles of the
- 5' -aminoacrylate 13B 32 P-labeled probe were immobilized on the fiber tips, which corresponds to 190 fmoles of oligonucleotide present for every mm 2 of tip surface area coated with the modified oligonucleotide.
- Hybridization analysis of fibers which were coated with unmodified acrylamide gel solution containing oiigonucieotides in place of the modified oiigonucieotides showed no immobilized probe present on the tip.
- a modified oligonucleotide examples include a flat glass support (e.g., coverslip or glass slide) . Coverslips were spotted with an acrylamide gel containing either a modified oligonucleotide or an unmodified oligonucleotide. Coverslips were spotted such that the mixtures using unmodified oiigonucieotides were placed side by side with the modified oligonucleotide spots.
- the reaction mixture was diluted 10-fold with a solution containing 0.2M NaOH/lmM EDTA, and run over a Sephadex G-25 column (NAP10 disposable columns, Pharmacia), and equilibrated in 0.1M NaOH/ lmM EDTA.
- the excluded fraction was collected, concentrated and exchanged into TE buffer (lOmM Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 1 mM EDTA) by several cycles of centrifugal ultrafiltration and dilution (Microcon 3, Amicon) .
- Photochemical attachment of primers to optical fibers The polished ends of silica optical fibers (1 mm diameter) were cleaned by soaking in 10% aqueous nitric acid for two hours.
- the fibers were rinsed with water and acetone, and then air-dried.
- the fiber tips were then soaked in 10% 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane in acetone (v/v) for one hour after which time the tips were washed in acetone and air dried.
- the tips were immersed in 20 ⁇ l solutions of 8% (wt/v) acrylamide (17:1 weight ratio, acrylamide :bis-acrylamide, in 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 6.8) containing 1 ⁇ M 5 ' -aminoacrylate primer 13B (modified oligonucleotide samples) or 1 ⁇ M unmodified 5' -phosphate oligonucleotide 13B (unmodified oligonucleotide samples) .
- Riboflavin was added to a final concentration of 0.0006% wt/vol, and light from a 100W halogen lamp was passed through the fiber for 5 minutes.
- the coated fiber tips were immersed in an agarose minigel box containing an acrylamide gel running buffer composed of a 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 and 1 mM EDTA solution, and electrophoresed for 30 minutes at 100 v/cm to remove non- immobilized oligonucleotide.
- an acrylamide gel running buffer composed of a 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 and 1 mM EDTA solution
- a borosilicate coverslip was cleaned by soaking in 10% (v/v) aqueous nitric acid for two hours. A glass slide can also be used. The coverslip was rinsed with water and acetone, and then air-dried. Subsequently, the coverslip was soaked in 10% 3- methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane in acetone (v/v) for one hour, at which time the coverslip was rinsed in several changes of acetone and air dried.
- Two copolymerization mixtures were prepared. One contained 5' -aminoacrylate modified 13B oligonucleotide at 1 ⁇ M. The other contained unmodified (5' -phosphate) 13B oligonucleotide at 1 ⁇ M. Both mixtures contained 20% (wt/vol) acrylamide (19:1 weight ratio, acrylamide :bis-acrylamide) , 45mM Tris-borate pH 8.3, ImM EDTA. Polymerization was catalyzed by addition of TEMED to 0.14% (v/v) and ammonium persulfate to 0.08% (wt/v) .
- the wells of a polystyrene microtiter dish are treated with potassium permanganate dissolved in 1.2N sulfuric acid (50 mg KMn0 4 per ml 1.2N H 2 S0 4 ) for 30 minutes at 60°C to introduce carboxyl groups on the polystyrene surface.
