Abstract
We developed a microfabricated electrochemical DNA chip for detection of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products from 16S rRNA sequences of Clostridium piliforme (Cp), Helicobacter bilis (Hb) and Helicobacter hepaticus (Hh), and the nucleocapsid protein gene of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). This chip does not require DNA labeling, and the hybridization signal can be detected as an anodic current. The average anodic currents of 9 (Cp), 5 (Hb), 8 (Hh) and 7 (MHV) PCR positive samples derived from feces of spontaneously infected mice (Cp, Hb and Hh) and MHV-contaminated tumor cells were 27.9 ± 7.2, 31.9 ± 8.1, 29.3 ± 10.1, and 27.6 ± 3.0 nA, respectively. On the other hand, the average anodic currents of 19 (Cp), 27 (Hb), 18 (Hh), and 13 (MHV) PCR negative samples were 0.3 ± 2.9, 3.7 ± 2.4, − 1.0 ± 1.7, and − 2.3 ± 2.7 nA, respectively. The anodic current increased with increasing concentrations of pathogens. For experimentally infected samples, the results of PCR/electrophoresis were in complete accord with those of this system when anodic currents of 6.1 (Cp), 8.5 (Hb), 2.4 (Hh), and 3.1 nA (MHV) were taken as the cut-off value. The results suggested that the electrochemical DNA chip system is useful for specific and quantitative detection of PCR products.Keywords
