Background technology
How biochip technology, as a fast-developing in recent years biological new and high technology, studies for solving the prospect that function that gene undertakes in vital process provides radiance.Biochip technology refers to and a large amount of probe molecule is fixed on rear on upholder hybridization with the sample molecule of mark, by detecting the hybridization signal intensities of each probe molecule and then obtaining sample sequence information.
Compared with traditional nucleic acid hybridization blot assays, a large amount of feature according to target gene and the pre-designed probe of testing requirement are fixed on support surface by gene chip simultaneously, once hybridization can the relevant information of multiple target gene in determination and analysis sample, the deficiency such as solve traditional nucleic acid blot hybridization technique trivial operations, level of automation is low, operating sequence quantity is few, detection efficiency is low, biochip technology is made to be provided with high-throughput, multiparameter Synchronization Analysis, quick automatical analysis, pinpoint accuracy is analyzed, the feature of high-sensitivity analysis.But with fluorescently-labeled PCR primer and method itself the also existing defects mating probe hybridization and detect unknown DNA sequencing fragment:
1) gene chip fluoroscopic examination depends on the fluorescence intensity of detected result, do not have fluorescence intensity or fluorescence intensity weak be namely judged as feminine gender, but cannot determine whether in the result of feminine gender be probe fixing on; 2) result of study that obtains of several genes chip technology platform is inconsistent, therefore the Validity control of gene chip has become the focus of current gene engineering research, especially applied gene chip there is no some validation checking methods accurately and efficiently, and the popularization of its application is still had any problem.Therefore develop one accurately and efficiently validation checking scheme carry out detection probes and whether fixedly become a kind of exigence.
The Validity control that gene chip has Validity control scheme comprises gene chip probes, prepared by upholder Validity control, probe fixed efficiency on the support and gene chip to prepare, and Validity control during genechip detection, detected result the series of problems such as stdn.This patent mainly for be preparation validity gene chip.
The traditional method of preparation validity gene chip has following several: 1) utilize fluorescent DNA dyes to dye to ssDNA probe, carry out the validity of chip estimate according to fluorescent DNA dyes intensity; 2) utilize object probe 3 sampling liquid and band fluorescence 1 quality control probes 4 sampling liquid respectively point sample in the matrix 7 of having modified arm molecule 6, form respective spot, then make object probe 3 at order spot place and hybridize with DNA sequence dna to be measured 5 that is of the same race or xenogenesis fluorescence 2, whether fluoresce according to quality probe point sample position, the validity of chip estimate, whether fluoresce according to object probe points position, judge DNA sequence dna information to be measured, as shown in Figure 1.But these above methods all cannot evaluate quality prepared by chip directly, effectively.
The method of these traditional gene chip quality controls can decrease the possibility that in gene test, false positive results occurs, improve the accuracy of detected result to a certain extent, but the defect of usual traditional gene chip is himself quality cannot be controlled preferably, the present invention proposes a kind of gene chip Validity control method, can control the validity of gene chip, greatly improve the reliability that it detects.

Compared with prior art, the beneficial effect that the present invention has is:
1) traditional detection, just certain density quality control probes is fixed on around object probe, quality control probes separates point sample on substrate with object probe, do not consider that the hybridization of object probe and DNA sequence dna to be measured is usually located at solid phase surface, there is steric restriction to a certain degree, if object concentration and probe concentration is too high, object probe is caused to fix not get on, and the present invention fixes after quality control probes and object probe fully being mixed again, for the purpose of probe and DNA sequence dna to be measured enough hybridization locus are provided, greatly facilitate DNA sequence dna to be detected and object probe hybridization like this.
2) quality control probes that the object of the invention probe and shorter fluorophor mark mixes, because object probe, quality control probes have identical active group, common Chemical bond mode is had again with arm molecule, be fixed on substrate, so by detection first fluorophor, that determines quality control probes is fixed on substrate, indirectly can determine that object probe is fixed on substrate, ensure that the quality of chip manufacturing, this mode also reaches the validity of the whole chip of Real-Time Monitoring.
3) the present invention is by detection first fluorophor, determine the quality of gene chip, provide reliable negative decision method, this negative findings, can not change because of probe fixed efficiency, because when probe fixed efficiency is low, the signal of the first fluorophor very lowly even can not have signal, also can get rid of false positive misjudgement in gene chip hybridization interpretation simultaneously, and existence is detected that hybridization signal is weak and to detect hybridization signal strong, also can obtain true negative result, thus solve because gene chip quality problems are to experimental result interference problem.
4) invention is a kind of based on mixed probe gene chip detection method, is applied to accuracy and the reliability that greatly can to improve gene test result in gene chip preparation.Simultaneously, not only the method for quality control can be provided to improve the quality of production for the producer of gene chip, evaluation can be made to chip before the use again for the user of gene chip, find possibility produced problem in experiment simply and effectively, thus the analytic process decreased in experiment, improve conventional efficient.
