Nucleic acid hybridization probes are provided which comprise an N4-(substituted amino) cytosine moiety, wherein the substituted amino group comprises a tag moiety, whereby the probe is detected. Methods of preparing probes of the Invention, intermediates used in such methods, and methods of using the probes of the invention in hybridization assays are also provided. Typical tag moieties employed with the probes of the invention are biotinyl, aminothiadiazole and fluorescein derivatives, connected to N4-amino groups of modified cytosines of the probe through linker moieties.
本发明提供的核酸杂交探针包含 N4-(取代氨基)胞嘧啶分子,其中取代氨基包含标记分子,从而可以检测探针。此外,还提供了制备本发明探针的方法、用于此类方法的中间产物以及在杂交检测中使用本发明探针的方法。本发明探针使用的典型标记分子是生物素基、氨基噻二唑和荧光素衍生物,通过连接分子与探针的修饰胞嘧啶的 N4-氨基相连。
