Abstract
Signal amplification techniques are commonly used to boost diagnostic signals. We have recently developed a new approach for exponential signal amplification obtained through a distinctive dendritic chain reaction. Here we report evaluation of the effect of the self-immolative dendritic amplifier component on the signal amplification. Four dendrons with various numbers of end-units were evaluated for the ability to produce exponential signal amplification through self-immolative disassembly pathways. The dendron composed of a first-generation platform with three end-units exhibited the best characteristics with rapid disassembly rate and good stability under aqueous conditions. This study demonstrates the efficiency of molecules based on dendritic structures.
