Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for analyzing biomolecules by using an oligonucleotide, and specifically, provides a method and an apparatus for determining the meaning of biomolecules in a biosample by analyzing through one examination of the biomolecules contained in the biosample by preparing, with respect to a nucleic acid including a target nucleic acid such as nucleic acid and receptor-analysis ligand conjugates, an oligonucleotide, which complementarily binds completely to a specific region of the target nucleic acid, and analyzing the target nucleic acid.
Claims13
A method for simultaneously analyzing a target protein and a target nucleic acid in a biological sample, comprising:
- (a) (i) reacting the target protein of the biological sample with an analysis ligand and forming a target protein-analysis ligand complex, the analysis ligand consisting of a ligand binding specifically to the target protein, and an oligonucleotide linked to the ligand, and
- (ii) producing a hybridization complex by hybridizing the target nucleic acid of the biological sample with an upstream oligonucleotide and a downstream oligonucleotide which are perfectly complementary to an upstream site and a downstream site of the target nucleic acid respectively, and making a double-stranded nucleic acid by extending a region between the upstream oligonucleotide and the downstream oligonucleotide on the hybridization complex, wherein the double-stranded nucleic acid comprises an extended nucleic acid strand which is complementary to the target nucleic acid, the upstream oligonucleotide and the downstream oligonucleotide;
- (b) making a mixture of the target protein-analysis ligand complex and the double-stranded nucleic acid;
- and
- (c) simultaneously analyzing the target protein and the target nucleic acid in the biological sample by detecting the oligonucleotide of the target protein-analysis ligand complex and the double-stranded nucleic acid, simultaneously, in the mixture of step (b).
