Preparation of Conjugates between Oligonucleotides and N-Vinylpyrrolidone/N-Acryloxysuccinimide Copolymers and Applications in Nucleic Acid Assays To Improve Sensitivity

Abstract: A simple approach has been developed to prepare conjugates between oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) and linear copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP)/N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS). These conjugates were of higher than expected molecular weight, as determined by light scattering. Side reactions between amino groups on heterocyclic bases, especially of cytosine, are proposed to explain the formation of aggregates. ODN-NVP/NAS conjugates used in both capture and detection steps in sandwich hybridization increased a… Show more

“…The other part of the intermediate, which was not complementary to the HBV genome, was used for hybridization with the detection polymer. The advantage of this protocol, as compared with the one described in [10], lies in the fact that it allows a so-called 'universal' detection conjugate to be used, i.e. one that can be applied to many other tests, irrespective of the genome to be detected.…”

“…Also, conjugates based on poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone-co-N-acryloxysuccinimide) [poly(NVP/NAS)] enhanced sensitivity when used at the detection phase. 9 Indeed, they multiplied the number of detection probes, inducing a higher colorimetric or fluorescent signal. In both cases, the conjugates were prepared via the covalent coupling of amino-bearing ODNs (independently presynthesized) onto a reactive polymer, which often resulted in aggregate formation [compact random coil; number-average molecular weight (M n ) Ϸ 2,000,000 g/mol].…”

“…Both of these concepts were described in patents originating from this lab 3,4 and were successfully used for the detection of the hepatitis B virus DNA. 5 Various polymers have been tested, and all of them were based on the use of a reactive comonomer capable of binding amino counterparts by the formation of amide or imine bonds. Hence, linear synthetic functional N-vinyl pyrolidone-N-acryloxy succinimide, 4 -7 maleic anhydride copolymers, 8,9 and glucose amine polymers 10 have been described to covalently bind prepurified oligonucleotides.…”
