Patent CA-2302827-A1 (CA)
Title: Oligonucleotide and dna de-hybridization on surfaces
Inventor: THOMPSON MICHAEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-04-12
Abstract: Double stranded nucleic acids or oligonucleotides attached to a surface and resulting from gene probe testing, i.e. consisting essentially of a probe strand and a test strand hybridized thereto, are denatured by treatment with an enzyme which is selective for digestion of one of the strands of double stranded DNA in either the 5'-3' direction or the 3'-5' direction. Since one of the ends of the probe strand is blocked, e.g. by chemical blocking or detection groups or by attachment to an immobilizing support, the reverse end of the test strand hybridized thereto is free, and an enzyme specific for digestion of DNA in the direction starting from the free end of the test strand will digest the test strand but leave the probe strand intact, and still blocked or attached to the immobilization support. As a result, a probe with the original probe strand is restored, for re-use in another probe-test detection.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une fraise pour athérectomie qui possède un diamètre opérationnel supérieur à celui d'un cathéter à l'intérieur duquel la fraise est acheminée. Cette dernière peut comporter un ballonnet polymère qui est recouvert d'un abrasif et qui se détend lorsque la fraise tourne. Ladite fraise peut également comporter un tube polymère qui est recouvert d'un abrasif et est fixé à l'extrémité proximale de la fraise. Lorsque la fraise tourne, le tube polymère se détend en raison de la force centrifuge. Ladite fraise peut également comporter une bande métallique enroulée sur un mandrin. Lorsque cette bande est enroulée de manière serrée autour du mandrin, son diamètre externe diminue. Le diamètre externe de la fraise augmente à mesure que la bande métallique se détend. En outre, la fraise peut être constituée d'un ressort métallique enroulé sur un tube d'entraînement. L'extrémité distale du ressort est couplée à un cône avant qui peut se déplacer à l'intérieur d'une lumière distale dans le tube d'entraînement. L'expansion maximum de la fraise est commandée par la distance sur laquelle le cône avant peut être escamoté à l'intérieur de la lumière. La présente invention concerne par ailleurs une fraise dotée d'un diamètre externe indexable. Elle se rapporte notamment à divers mécanismes d'indexation qui permettent d'accroître et de réduire la distance entre une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale de la fraise. Lorsque la longueur de la fraise change, le diamètre externe d'un certain nombre de lames de coupe est modifié de manière à permettre à un chirurgien de créer des lumières de différentes tailles dans un vaisseau sanguin chez un patient.

Abstract: A DNA amplification approach, enabling the amplification of DNA targets with unknown sequences, involves successive PCR steps. In a first reaction, linear amplification of the target nucleic acid is achieved using one or more specially designed primers. In the second reaction, additional primers are added and exponential amplification of a double stranded DNA is achieved. Combined with conventional DNA sequencing procedures, this approach can be used for the direct sequencing of genomic DNA, avoiding the need to sub-clone large fragments.  With the inventive method, moreover, sequencing information can be gathered in a much less costly and labor-intensive manner than was possible previously.
