title: Enhanced chemiluminescent method for the detection of DNA dot-hybridization assays.
abstract: A simple enhanced chemiluminescent procedure for the quantitation of DNA hybridization to dot blots is described. The method utilizes DNA probes labeled with biotin, which are detected using a biotinylated streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase complex. The peroxidase enzyme then takes part in an enhanced chemiluminescent reaction with luminol, peroxide, and an enhancer. The method can be used to give quantitative results using a photomultiplier tube or qualitative results by recording the light emission on instant photographic film.
