A1 - Schneider, Rudolf T1 - Photoinduced cross-linking of short Furan-modified DNA on surfaces N2 - We report for the first time the formation of sitespecific interstrand cross-linked (ICL) surface-immobilized furanmodified DNA duplexes via singlet oxygen. 1O2, necessary for effecting furan-mediated ICL formation, was produced in situ using methylene blue or a zinc phthalocyanine derivative (TT1) as a photosensitizer. Via surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, we show that surface ICL was achieved, and a robust link formed that enhances the stability of the 12-mer duplex even after surface regeneration. The described method represents a novel platform technology based on surfaces with addressable and stable DNA duplexes requiring only short oligonucleotides.

T1 - Decoration of trastuzumab with short oligonucleotides: synthesis and detailed characterization N2 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is an FDA-approved therapeutic antibody currently employed in the treatment of metastatic stages of breast cancer. Herein, we propose a simple, fast and cost-effective methodology to conjugate trastuzumab with 22-mer 5' thiol-modified oligonucleotides using a bifunctional crosslinker. The conjugates were successfully characterized by MALDI-ToF MS and SDS-PAGE, obviating the need for enzymatic digestion and difficult chromatographic separations. Furthermore, ELISA was performed to ensure that trastuzumab activity is not affected by oligonucleotide conjugation.

T1 - An anti-caffeine antibody−oligonucleotide conjugate for DNA-directed immobilization in environmental immunoarrays N2 - The development of fast and cheap highthroughput platforms for the detection of environmental contaminants is of particular importance to understand the human-related impact on the environment. The application of DNA-directed immobilization (DDI) of IgG molecules is currently limited to the clinical diagnostics scenario, possibly because of the high costs of production of such addressable platforms. We here describe the efficient and specific hybridization of an antibody−oligonucleotide conjugate to a short 12-mer capture probe. The specific antibody used is a monoclonal antibody against caffeine, a stimulant and important anthropogenic marker. With this work, we hope to contribute to broadening the application potential of DDI to environmental markers in order to develop cheaper and more stable high-throughput screening platforms for standard Routine analysis of pollutants in a variety of complex matrices.
