A method for attachment of peptides to a solid surface with enhanced immunoreactivity.

abstract：:Cycling probe technology (CPT) is a simple signal amplification method for the detection of specific target DNA sequences. CPT uses a chimeric DNA-RNA-DNA probe that is cut by RNase H when bound to its complementary target sequence. In this study, a hybridization assay was developed to detect biotinylated CPT products...
