Patent CA-2478983-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MULLIGAN JOHN T
IPC: C12M1/00
Filed: 2003-04-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'une technique de synthèse de phase solide pour préparer des polynucléotides ayant plus de 1 000 nucléotides. Cette technique se caractérise en ce qu'elle utilise un support solide réutilisable qui contient un oligonucléotide lié par covalence. Cet oligonucléotide lié par covalence est fusionné à un oligonucléotide ponté, où le pont est aussi fusionné à un premier oligonucléotide qui forme une partie du polynucléotide cible. Après la synthèse du polynucléotide cible, celui-ci peut être extrait du support solide dans des conditions de dénaturation, et le support solide peut être réutilisé pour préparer des polynucléotides cibles supplémentaires. La production de polynucléotides cibles augmente lorsqu'une force de cisaillement est appliquée au support solide qui est lié à l'oligonucléotide croissant. On pense que cette force de cisaillement étend l'extrémité de croissance de l'oligonucléotide loin du contact avec d'autres liaisons d'oligonucléotides vers le support solide et rend cette extrémité plus accessible à la fusion avec l'oligonucléotide en solution. La synthèse est accomplie de manière appropriée sur un disque fritté poreux, où les agents de réaction et les solutions de lavage sont pompées à travers ledit disque fritté.
