S9.6 Antibody–Enzyme Conjugates for the Detection of DNA–RNA Hybrids

Abstract excerpt

Diagnosis of infectious agents is increasingly done by the detection of unique nucleic acid sequences, typically using methods such as PCR that specifically amplify these sequences. A largely neglected alternative approach is to use antibodies that recognize nucleic acids. The unique monoclonal antibody S9.6 recognizes DNA-RNA hybrids in a largely sequence-independent manner. S9.6 has been used in several cases...
