Abstract
A new approach was proposed for detecting amplified DNA fragments by hybridization with a highly selective oligonucleotide probe obtained by ligation of a tandem of three short oligonucleotides (pN8 + pN4 + pN8' Bio) in solution, with subsequent UV-immobilization of the hybridization product on a nylon membrane and its colorimetric detection with the streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase technique. Owing to the high selectivity of ligation, the 20-mer ligation product was detected on a membrane only when it was completely complementary to a template fragment. The results showed that any single-nucleotide substitution in the tetramer-binding site can be localized and identified with the use of all 12 possible tetramers.
