Oligonucleotide Drug Analysis Using Hybridization ELISA

Oligonucleotide Drug Analysis Using Hybridization ELISA
Overview
Oligonucleotides have been utilized for the last two decades for their therapeutic properties. Majorly these are used either for inhibition of genes or protein expression. Oligonucleotide drugs include several classes, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and aptamers. As oligonucleotide drugs gain popularity, analysis of oligonucleotides has become an important element of drug development. It is our experience that different bioanalysis platforms are needed for the different types of oligonucleotide drugs, depending on their size, chemistry and complexity.
In this webinar, we will discuss the analysis of oligonucleotides by hybridization ELISA assay. In this assay format, the antigen ligand and antibodies in ELISA are replaced with labelled complementary capture and detection oligonucleotide probes. These probes are designed in our labs to maximize affinity with the target oligonucleotide, while reducing the potential for self-annealing. Assessing the biodistribution of oligonucleotides is a crucial part of any preclinical development program. In this webinar, we will go into the development and qualification of methods for the analysis of oligonucleotides in various tissues.
