A highly selective, colorimetric polynucleotide detection method based on mercaptoalkyloligonucleotide-modified gold nanoparticle probes is reported. Introduction of a single-stranded target oligonucleotide (30 bases) into solution containing the appropriate resulted in formation polymeric network nanoparticles with concomitant red-to-pinkish/purple color change. Hybridization was facilitated by freezing and thawing solutions, denaturation these hybrid materials showed transition...
Selective colorimetric polynucleotide detection based on Au nanoparticle probes which align in a "tail-to-tail" fashion onto target is described. In this new nanoparticle-based system, particles (∼13 nm diameter), are capped with 3'- and 5'-(alkanethiol)oligonucleotides, used to complex 24-base target. Hybridization of the results formation an extended polymeric nanoparticle/polynucleotide aggregate, triggers red purple color change solution. The due shift surface plasmon resonance...
A study aimed at understanding the factors that control optical properties of DNA-linked gold nanoparticle aggregates containing oligonucleotide linkers varying length (24−72 base pairs) is described. In this system, ∼15 nm diameter Au particles modified with (alkanethiol)-12 oligomers are hybridized to a series ranging from 24 72 pairs (∼80−240 Å) in length. Aggregated room temperature, various macroscopic assemblies have plasmon frequency changes inversely dependent on linker Upon...

Purpose Risk of distant recurrence (DR) among women with estrogen receptor (ER) –positive early breast cancer is the major determinant recommendations for or against chemotherapy. It frequently estimated using Oncotype DX score (RS). The PAM50 risk (ROR) provides an alternative approach, which also identifies intrinsic subtypes. Patients and Methods mRNA from 1,017 patients ER-positive primary treated anastrozole tamoxifen in ATAC trial was assessed ROR NanoString nCounter. Likelihood ratio...
The four intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer, defined by differential expression 50 genes (PAM50), have been shown to be predictive risk recurrence and benefit hormonal therapy chemotherapy. Here we describe the development Prosigna™, a PAM50-based subtype classifier model on NanoString nCounter Dx Analysis System intended for decentralized testing in clinical laboratories. 514 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancer patient samples were used train prototypical centroids each...
The binding affinity of deoxynucleosides (dA, dG, dC, and dT) to gold nanoparticles was studied using a colorimetric assay determine if nucleobase sequence may play role in alkanethiol-capped oligonucleotides nanoparticles. These data indicate that the deoxynucleoside dT has much lower nanoparticle surface than dA. can be correlated with previous study our lab which indicated containing (dT)20 spacers have significantly higher coverage (dA)20 spacers. To probe physical consequences this...
NanoString's Prosigna™ Breast Cancer Prognostic Gene Signature Assay is based on the PAM50 gene expression signature. The test outputs a risk of recurrence (ROR) score, category, and intrinsic subtype (Luminal A/B, HER2-enriched, Basal-like). studies described here were designed to validate analytical performance nCounter Analysis System across multiple laboratories.Analytical precision was measured by testing five breast tumor RNA samples 3 sites. Reproducibility replicate tissue sections...
Nanotechnology-based techniques are being widely evaluated in medical testing and could provide a new generation of diagnostic assays due to their high degrees sensitivity, specificity, multiplexing capabilities, ability operate without enzymes. In this article, we have modified nanoparticle-based biobarcode amplification (BCA) assay for early sensitive detection HIV-1 capsid (p24) antigen by using antip24 antibody-coated microplates capture viral streptavidin-coated DNAs signal...
Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are aggressive non-Hodgkin affecting the (CNS). Although immunophenotyping studies suggested an uniform activated B-cell (ABC) origin, more recently a spectrum of ABC and germinal center (GC) cases has been proposed, with molecular subtypes PCNSL still being matter debate. With emergence novel therapies demonstrating different efficacy between GC patient groups, precise assignment subtype is becoming indispensable. To determine 77 17 secondary...
