Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying nucleic acids based upon contacting a probe nucleic acid sequence complimentary to a target nucleic acid sequence under conditions suitable for hybridization between the two sequences.
- Molecular diagnostic assays such as nucleic acid hybridization techniques and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques are able to overcome the sensitivity and specificity issues associated with immunological-based diagnostic assays.
- the establishment of the polymerase chain reaction as a robust amplification system and the explosion of techniques and variations of PCR have turned molecular diagnostics into a new entity of molecular biology.
- PCR-based diagnostics have been successfully implemented for the detection of various genetic, acquired, and infectious diseases.
- sensitive molecular assays, such as PCR are not amenable to high throughput, large scale testing and require that nucleic acid samples be relative free of contaminants that may inhibit Taq polymerase.
- RNA amenable to molecular diagnostics is not always a trivial matter.
- hybridization-based diagnostic assays are inherently less sensitive than target amplification techniques, they are insensitive to most contaminants that affect the functionality and reliability of enzymatic-driven molecular diagnostic assay such as PCR.
- signal amplification techniques have been described that rival the sensitivity of PCR. These techniques take advantage of the high-throughput capabilities and robustness of hybridization technique to provide diagnostics assay that are more reliable than PCR when dealing with some biological samples.
- the major drawbacks to many of these signal amplifications techniques is that they can be time consuming and may required a certain skill level to effectively utilize the technology.
- telomere sequences are based on the principle of hybridization.
- methods for detecting the presence of particular target nucleic acid sequences involve employing a complementary sequence termed a probe, generally detectably labeled, and incubating this labeled probe sequence with the test sample thought to contain the target nucleic acid sequence.
- probe-target hybridization complexes hybridize to one another under suitable conditions to form probe-target hybridization complexes that can be identified through the presence of the detectable label.
- Homogeneous phase hybridization assays permit detection of the hybridized probe-target complex without removal of excess unhybridized probe sequences present in the assay solution. See Tyagi and Kramer, 1996, Nature Biotechnology 14,303-308; Arnold, Waldrop, and Hammond, 1990, U.S. Pat. No. 4,950,613.
- very sensitive assays require separation of the hybridized complex from the unhybridized probe prior to the detection step. Many different methods have been employed to accomplish this separation, including several that rely on differences in physical characteristics between the two products.
- Other methods employ the use of a second nucleic acid sequence, described as a "capture" probe, for the purpose of separating the probe-target complex from the unhybridized probe.
- Capture probes are generally immobilized on a solid support and are selected to hybridize to a different portion of the target nucleic acid sequence than does the labeled probe.
- a tripartite capture-probe:target:labeled-probe complex forms which is bound to the solid support, while the unhybridized labeled probe remains unbound in solution, allowing the two products to be readily separated.
- Such assays are referred to as "sandwich” hybridizations. See for example, Engelhardt and Rabbani, 1994, U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,609. Although widely used, these sandwich assays require a number of steps to perform and can be quite time consuming.
- displacement assays Alternative assay methods, termed displacement assays, were developed in an attempt to simplify the method of identifying nucleic acids. See Diamond, S. E., et al., 1988, U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,062; Williams, J. I., et al. 1988, U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,064; Vary, 1987, Nucleic Acids Res. 15, 6883-6897; Vary et al., 1986, Clinical Chemistry 32, 1696-1701.
- a tether nucleic acid sequence complementary to the target nucleic acid sequence, is hybridized to a shorter, detectably labeled signal nucleic acid sequence, complementary to a specific subsequence of the tether sequence.
- the signal nucleic acid is fully base-paired with the tether nucleic acid in this signal-tether complex, but the longer tether nucleic acid retains a single-stranded region.
- the target hybridizes to the single-stranded portion of the tether component. Since the target is homologous to the entire length of the tether, a homologous strand exchange reaction with the signal nucleic acid is initiated, and the target displaces the signal from the tether. This strand exchange reaction proceeds rapidly in the direction of signal nucleic acid displacement because the target is longer and forms a more stable duplex with the tether. See Green, C.
- the amount of displaced labeled signal nucleic acid is measured to determine the amount of target nucleic acid in the sample.
- the tether component of the probe complex can also be linked to a solid support, so that separation of the solid and solution phases results in isolation of the signal nucleic acid.
- standard displacement assays do have certain drawbacks. For example, when target nucleic acid hybridizes to a tether not hybridized to a signal nucleic acid, or when a displaced signal nucleic acid hybridizes to a tether nucleic acid, which was not previously hybridized to a signal nucleic acid, a decrease in the detection signal produced per unit of target hybridized results. Moreover, if the hybridized complex is not stable, an undesirable background signal can be introduced, which complicates interpretation of the assay results and reduces the sensitivity of the assay.
- the present invention overcomes the limitations of the aforementioned hybridization assays by contacting a pre-determined amount of a probe nucleic acid sequence complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence under conditions suitable for hybridization between the two sequences.
- the unhybridized probe is separated from the probe-target complex and its concentration is determined. The reduction of in probe concentration is indicative of the presence of target nucleic acid sequences.
- the "nucleic acid pre-absorption assay"[NAPA] is not limited by unstable hybridization complexes as described above.
- the combination with a random oligonucleotide library is useful in identifying unique sequences in target nucleic acids SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
- the present invention is based upon contacting a probe nucleic acid sequence complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence under conditions suitable for hybridization between the two sequences.
- the probe-target complex is separated from unhybridized probe nucleic acid by size exclusion.
- the unhybridized probe can be contacted to a second target nucleic acid sequence.
- the unhybridized probe recovered separately from the probe-target complex can be used as probe nucleic acid to distinguish the first sequence from the second.
- the unhybridized probe is quantified by 1 ) directly immobilizing the probe nucleic acid to a solid support; 2) contacting the probe nucleic acid sequence to a complementary nucleic acid sequence immobilized to a solid support under conditions suitable for hybridization between the two sequences
- One aspect of the present invention pertains to the detection of the unhybridized probe nucleic acid without the separation of the probe-target complex.
- the quantity of unhybridized probe is determined by contacting the solution to a complementary nucleic acid sequence immobilized to a solid support under conditions suitable for hybridization between the two sequences.
- the probe nucleic acid contains a detectable label.
- Another aspect of the present invention pertains to contacting multiple probe nucleic acids having different base sequences complementary to multiple target nucleic acid sequences under conditions suitable for hybridization between probe and target nucleic acid sequences.
- the probe-target complexes are separated from unhybridized probe nucleic acid sequences by size exclusion or alternatively, by contacting the solution to an immobilized complementary nucleic acid sequence under conditions suitable for hybridization between the two sequences.
- the probe nucleic acid contains a detectable label.
- the present invention pertains to a kit for detecting the presence of a target nucleic acid sequence in a test sample.
- nucleic acid or “polynucleotide sequence” and their respective plurals are used interchangeably herein and are intended to include deoxyribonucleic acid [hereinafter "DNA”] and ribonucleic acid [hereinafter "RNA”]. Both single stranded and double stranded nucleic acids are embraced by this invention. Higher ordered structures of nucleic acids, for example, RNA that has folded upon its linear strand forming a secondary loop structure, are also within the scope of the present invention. Nucleic acid sequences encompassed by the present invention can be from about 3 to about 10,000 nucleotides in length. There is no absolute minimum or maximum length requirement for target nucleic acid sequences, however, a preferred range is from about 10 to about 2,000, preferably about 30 to about 1 ,000, most preferably about 30 to about 100.
- hybridize or “hybridization” is intended to include admixing of at least two nucleic acid sequences or nucleic acid analog sequences, under conditions such that when at least two complementary nucleic acid sequences are present, they will form a double-stranded structure through base-pairing.
- label is intended to include radioactive isotopes, fluorescent moieties, chemiluminescent moieties, and direct enzyme conjugates, as well as indirect labels, such as affinity labels for use with secondary or tertiary labeled molecules, such as in fluorescent energy transfer assays.
- nucleic acid sequences that can form a double-stranded structure through base- pairing. Mismatched base pairing is intended to fall within the scope of this invention.
- Nucleotide mismatch can affect the affinity between nucleic acid sequences. The greater the mismatch between nucleic acid sequences, generally, the lower the affinity between them as compared to perfectly matched nucleic acid sequences. Generally, the greater the mismatch between nucleic acid sequences, the more readily the hybridization that exists between them can be disrupted. When mismatches between base pairs are present, they generally account for no more than 5% of the region of base-pairing.
- the degree of complementality between hybridization partners is from about 100% to about 95%, most preferably about 100%.
- base-pairing is intended to include those reactions that occur in an antiparallel manner as well as those which occur in a parallel fashion.
- Base-pairing itself is understood to essentially follow a complementary pattern wherein a purine pairs with a pyrimidine via hydrogen bonds. More particularly, it is understood that complementary base-pairing of individual base pairs generally follows Chargaff s Rule wherein an adenine pairs with a thymine (or uracil) and guanine pairs with cytosine.
- Chargaff s Rule wherein an adenine pairs with a thymine (or uracil) and guanine pairs with cytosine.
- there are modified bases that account for unconventional base-pairing and these are also considered to be within the scope of the instant invention.
- modified nucleic acid is intended to include a DNA or RNA nucleic acid molecule that contains chemically modified nucleotides.
- nucleic acid analog is intended to include non-nucleic acid molecules that can engage in base-pairing interactions with conventional nucleic acids such as phosphorothioates and phosphoroamidates. These modified bases and nucleic acid analogs are considered to be within the scope of the instant invention. It is apparent to those skilled in the art which nucleic acid analogues are useful in strategies for developing probe nucleic acid sequences. Kumas, A. et al., J. Med Chem., 33(9): 2368-2735 (1990); McGuigan, C.
- a "probe” is a general term for a piece of DNA or RNA corresponding to a gene or sequence of interest, that has been labeled either radioactively, or with some other detectable molecule, such as biotin, digoxygenin or fluorescein.
