Abstract

Sensitive microplate-based chemiluminescent assay coupled with isothermal circular strand-displacement polymerization reaction (ICSDPR) for DNA detection was developed. The assay sensitivity was improved using a triple amplification strategy based on employment of ICSDPR, streptavidin-polyperoxidase conjugate and an enhanced chemiluminescent reaction. To increase the accuracy all stages of the assay (one-pot format) were carried out in the same microplate well. The proposed assay detected the target DNA in fM-pM ranges and distinguish target DNA from related mismatched DNAs, demonstrating high sensitivity and high selectivity. This format is highly suitable for the development of sensitive and high-throughput kits of nucleic acids which can be easily automated.
