Target binds to the Probes
RNA-DNA Hybridization
Targets:
Antisense
biotinylated
cRNA
Probe sets: The DNA oligo probe is attached to the
GeneChip via a silane bond
Hybridization
Optimized Hybridization is the process of single stranded nucleic acids binding
to another strand with identically complement sequence [We hope]
Types:
DNA to DNA
DNA to RNA
RNA to RNA
PNA to DNA
Stringency
Stringency is a condition that causes a change in the local
hybridization environment and “interferes” with the binding kinetics
Stringency prevents:
.
Binding of non-complementary strands
Self hybridization – hairpin formation
Disassociation of strands
Factors Influencing Stringency
Intrinsic factors
GC rich nucleic acid more stable because of triple H-bond
Degree of complementarity
Extrinsic factors
Experimentally introduced
Temperature
Salt concentration- NaCl, Na citrate, morpholinoethanesulfonic acid
Presence of denaturing agents (e.g., formamide)
Presence of high molecular weight polymers (e.g., dextran sulfate)
Shear forces
Molecular tagging
Stringency In Microarray Hybridization
High stringency is obtained by:
Low salt or buffer concentration
High temperature
Low stringency is obtained by:
Lowering the temperature of hybridization
Increasing salt concentration [to a point]
This is different then PCR, because increasing salt concentration increases stringency
This is because of the enzyme activity of taq polymerase and Molecular interference
High Stringency vs. Low Stringency
The fluidics station
Staining the biotinylated cRNA
An automated system to stain the target using streptavidin-phycoerythrin [SAPE], a
biotinylated anti-SAPE antibody, and SAPE again…
high and low stringency buffers are used
Steps in the Staining Protocol
Rinse away unhybridized FcRNA target
Stain with Streptavidin PE [SAPE]
Stain with Biotinylated IgG anti-SAPE antibody
Grand Total MW
(Minimum)
Stain AGAIN with Streptavidin PE [SAPE]
