Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a nanosensor of miRNA activity in a target cell, and methods of use, for detection and diagnostic applications. The nanosensor comprises a delivery particle comprising an iron oxide crystal coated with a polymer; and a sensor oligonucleotide covalently attached to the polymer. The sensor oligonucleotide comprises a seed region, comprising a nucleic acid sequence that is completely complementary to the target miRNA and comprises a cleavage site which can be engaged and cleaved by the target miRNA.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A nanosensor for detection of miRNA activity in a target cell comprising: a) a delivery particle comprising an iron oxide crystal coated with a polymer; and b) a sensor oligonucleotide covalently attached to the polymer, comprising: i) a seed region comprising a nucleic acid sequence that is completely complementary to the target miRNA and comprises a cleavage site which can be engaged and cleaved by the target miRNA; ii) two non-seed regions that each flank the seed region and are each comprised of a nucleic acid sequence that is complementary to the target miRNA to promote hybridization of the sensor oligonucleotide to the target miRNA; and iii) members of a quencher-fluorophore pair; wherein the quencher fluorophore pair members respectively flank the cleavage site and are separated by a distance that permits significant quenching of emitted fluorescent signal. 2 .- 71 .
