The Gen-Probe AccuProbe System Uses the Following Technology Principle

question 50

Multiple Choice

The Gen-Probe AccuProbe system uses the following technology principle:

• A) When two solutions are combined and hybridization occurs between the probe and the target, then the tube is centrifuged to detect the precipitated hybridized target and probes.
• B) A single-stranded, chemiluminescent-labeled DNA probe is designed to hybridize to the target organism's ribosomal RNA (rRNA), forming a DNA:RNA duplex.
• C) A double-stranded, bioluminescent-labeled DNA probe is designed to hybridize to the target organism's DNA, forming a DNA:DNA duplex.
• D) A single-stranded, chemiluminescent-labeled RNA probe is designed to hybridize to the target organism's ribosomal RNA (rRNA), forming an RNA:RNA duplex.
