Methods For Rendering Amplified Nucleic Acid Subsequently Unamplifiable

View page
US Patent:
52216080, Jun 22, 1993
Filed:
Oct 26, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/428494
Inventors:
George D. Cimino - El Cerrito CA
John E. Hearst - Berkeley CA
Stephen T. Isaacs - Orinda CA
Kenneth C. Metchette - Berkeley CA
John W. Tessman - Berkeley CA
International Classification:
C12Q 168
US Classification:
435 6
Abstract:
Method for treating nucleic acid that is to be amplified such that the nucleic acid is, after amplification, subsequently unamplifiable. Nucleic acid amplification is performed in a reaction containing means in the presence of an isopsoralen. The reaction is thereafter irradiated to render the amplified nucleic acid substantially unamplifiable.

US Patent:
51399407, Aug 18, 1992
Filed:
Oct 26, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/427303
Inventors:
Stephen T. Isaacs - Orinda CA
Goerge D. Cimino - El Cerrito CA
Kenneth C. Metchette - Berkeley CA
John W. Tessman - Berkeley CA
International Classification:
C12Q 168
US Classification:
435 91
Abstract:
The invention is directed to isopsoralen compound compositions that contain a variety of substitutions which yet permit their binding to nucleic acid polymers. Reaction conditions that activate these bound isopsoralens results in covalent crosslinking to the nucleic acid polymers. The resultant complex is inhibited from being a template for the template-directed enzymatic synthesis of a complementary nucleic acid polymer. Beside the isopsoralens compositions, the invention includes their synthesis, the nucleic acid complex production and detection, and the above inhibitory method of use of the isopsoralens.
