RESUMO
DNA-modified nanospheres were prepared by anchoring amino-terminated oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with carboxylates onto a colored polystyrene sphere surface through amido bonds. About 220 ODN molecules were immobilized onto a nanosphere 40 nm in diameter. Preliminary studies using the microspheres with 1 μm diameter reveal that the specificity of hybridization was retained after modification. Three kinds of differently colored (RGB, red/green/blue) nanospheres bearing unique ODNs on their surface were prepared for detecting the p53 gene. Each ODN is complementary to a different part in the 45mer sample that is a part of a conservative region of the p53 gene containing one of the hot spots. In a binary system using spheres R and G, the wild-type 45mer made the aggregates with yellow emission as the result of mixing both colors. The mutant 45mer containing one nucleotide displacement did not give such aggregates with distinct colors. The study of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) showed that spheres R and G directly contact each other in the aggregates with the wild type. The RGB ternary system gave aggregates with specific colors corresponding to the added ODN samples, wild type or mutant. In addition, in the presence of both samples, all of the spheres formed aggregates with white emission as a consequence of mixing three primary colors of light. This means that the present technique should allow us to conduct an allele analysis.
