9G DNAChip: microarray based on the multiple interactions of 9 consecutive guanines

We introduce the phenomenon of molecular recognition to immobilize oligonucleotides on AMCA slides for the production of 9G DNAChips. Facile and efficient method for the immobilization of the oligonucleotides appended with consecutive nine guanine bases is described. The 9G DNAChips shows more than 90% hybridization efficiency at 25 °C in 30 min.

HPV 9G DNA Chip: 100% Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity

ABSTRACT We describe a novel HPV 9G DNA chip test for the accurate and reliable genotyping of human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV 9G DNA chip test established its efficiency in terms of a signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of 200, which is 50 times superior to commercial HPV DNA chips, and 100% target-specific hybridization at 25°C. We compared the genotyping results for the 439 clinical samples by the HPV 9G DNA chip test with the sequencing results for the MY11/GP6+ (M2) primer set-mediated PCR products. The discrimination of HPV genotypes in the 151 HPV-positive clinical samples by the HPV 9G DNA chip test were 100% identical with the sequencing analysis. The clinical sensitivities of HPV genotyping by the HPV 9G DNA chip test and a commercial HPV DNA chip test were 100% and 88%, respectively. However, the clinical specificities of HPV genotyping by the HPV 9G DNA chip test and the commercial HPV DNA chip test were 100% and 94%, respectively. The 100% clinical sensitivity and specificity of the HPV 9G DNA chip test make it a promising diagnostic tool for HPV genotyping.

HPV 9G DNAChip: Based on the 9G DNAChip technology.

The novel HPV 9G DNAChips were developed for the detection and discrimination of the HPV genotypes in the clinical samples. The HPV 9G DNAChip established high SBR of 50-70 and 100% target-specific hybridization after 30min hybridization and 2×2min washing at 25°C. We compared the genotyping results of the 959 HPV positive and 82 HPV negative clinical samples by the HPV 9G DNAChip and the sequencing; the results are in 100% agreement. The HPV 9G DNAChip efficiently discriminate 19 HPV genotypes in the 959 HPV positive clinical samples. The results of HPV 9G DNAChip were 100% identical with the sequencing analysis in the detection and discrimination of HPV genotypes in the HPV negative clinical samples. The high SBR, 100% target-specific hybridization, and 25°C hybridization and washing makes the HPV 9G DNAChip a promising diagnostic tool for the accurate HPV genotyping.
