Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of the manufacture of microsensors useful in the analysis of nucleotide and / or peptide sequences. This type of analysis opens access to the detection and identification of all or part of genes or peptides which may be the tracers of higher biological entities (cells, tissues, bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts,. ..).
- the production in question in this presentation is an anchoring and / or a localized chemical synthesis of polymer probes (oligonucleotides and / or peptides) on a support intended to form a network of probes, some of which are likely to pair with target sequences contained in the analysis medium.
- polymer probes oligonucleotides and / or peptides
- the revelation of these pairings can be carried out using fluorescent, colored, radioactive markers or by electronic transductance.
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a support carrying on at least one of its faces a plurality of sequences - poly - preferably oligo - nucleotide and / or peptide (OGN sequences) advantageously different from each other and apparent from their complementary (target sequences) by affine interaction, these OGN sequences being obtained by localized chemical synthesis, in the presence of volatile solvents.
- OGN sequences oligo - nucleotide and / or peptide
- the invention also relates to a method for detecting and / or identifying target OGN sequences using biosensors manufactured by the above-mentioned method.
- the OGN sequences correspond to poly- preferably oligo-nucleotide and / or peptide sequences.
- it can be: - oligonucleotides each carrying an ATCG nitrogen base,
- PNA Peptide Nucleic Acid
- nucleic acid sequences this need for an efficient analysis tool is expressed for numerous applications such as for example the study of gene mutation, the detection of pathogens, or even the sequencing of genomes.
- the principle of the analysis of nucleotide and / or peptide sequences is relatively simple since it involves reading the arrangement of the 4 nucleotide comonomers A, C, T and G in the case of polynucleotides and PNAs and the arrangement about twenty amino acids with regard to the polypeptides. This simplicity of principle is only matched by the difficulty arising from the considerable amount of information to be processed.
- the genome of the bacterium Escherichia Coli which is one of the shortest, contains 4,000 genes with 4.7 million nucleotides while the human genome consists of approximately 100,000 genes, which represents 3 billion nucleotides. . Added to this is the fact that the decryption of a gene or a protein is nothing compared to the understanding of the complex action of these nucleic or peptide polymers in normal or abnormal living mechanisms.
- a support for example a glass plate, comprising a network or a complete set of oligonucleotide sequences (OGN probes) capable of hybridizing with complementary target OGN sequences contained in the analysis medium.
- OGN probes oligonucleotide sequences
- the 5 'ends of the nucleotides are protected by DMT (dimethoxytrityl) and the 3' ends by ⁇ -cyanoethylphosphoramidite.
- the couplings of the nucleotides of rank 1 and on the silanes and of the nucleotides of rank 2 to n between them are carried out using tetrazole.
- the solvent is acetonitrile.
- This reaction is carried out under anhydrous conditions in a sealed container.
- This container includes the glass plate covered with a silicone rubber ribbon which is hollowed out to leave only the edges which define a single reaction site.
- a Teflon plate of the same size and thickness as the glass support plate covers the reaction site and the silicone border.
- a short plastic tube connects the reaction volume with the outside and allows the injection and draining of the reaction liquids as well as the filling of the reaction volume with argon, these operations being carried out by means of a syringe.

- displacement means 30 comprise a motor 31 connected to one end of a screw without end 34 of transmission terminated at the other end by the stopper 36, as well as sliding guides 33, the ends of which carry the stopper block 35. As indicated above, some of these elements and the terminal part of others these elements are arranged outside the enclosure 5. Reference will be made to the description of the means 7 above for more details.
- the micro-deposition station 60 capable of being driven by the endless screw 34 in translation along the sliding guides 33 (along the Y axis), it is formed, on the one hand, by a carriage provided with an element 61 carrying reagent bottles 62 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 8) and parallel to the Y axis and, on the other hand, a battery 64 which supports a series of micro-organ deposits 65 (only one of which is shown in Fig. 8).
- This battery 64, parallel to the Y axis, is laterally opposite the element 61 carrying reagent bottles 62.
- the elements of the means 6 and 30 disposed inside the saturated enclosure 5 are made of materials resistant to the reagents used, for example acetonitrile, and / or are sealed from said pregnant. Examples of resistant materials are given above.
- the reagent bottles 62 could be arranged outside the working volume defined by the reaction enclosure 5. It would then be necessary to provide the "ad hoc" fluidic connections.
- the difference along the axis Z between the substrate or support 1 and the micro-deposit members 65 is adjusted so as to address the drops of reagent located on the entire network of microwells 4 defined by the grid of resin 3 of the support 1, using the movements of the carriages 60 and / or 72 along the axes X and / or Y.
- Figs. 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D detail the non-localized supply means 8 and more specifically a particular element thereof constituted by a piston 80. As shown in FIG. 7, the piston 80 of the non-localized supply means 8 is displaceable in translation along the axis Z.
- the displacement means 40 provided for this purpose comprise, analogously to the displacement means 7 and 30 described above, a motor 41 connected to an endless screw 44 for translational translation of the Z axis of the piston 80 along two sliding guides 43 parallel to said axis Z and to the endless screw 44.
- the lower ends of the guides 43 and of the screws 44 include stop blocks 45 and 46.
- the piston 80 is integral with a carriage 81 cooperating with the displacement means 40.
- the vertical axis Z of the piston 80 is perpendicular to the axis X of movement of the support 1 and to the axis Y of movement of the station.
- the underside of the piston 80 is provided with an annular O-ring 82 produced, preferably in KALREZ.
- This annular O-ring is coaxial with the piston and has a diameter substantially smaller than the diameter of the underside of said piston 81.
- this annular O-ring 82 defines an interstitial space 83 between the underside 84 of the piston 81 and the surface of the support 1 against which said piston 81 is applied, by means of displacement means 40.
- the piston 81 consists of a wall 85 which has a lower end portion of greater thickness and which defines an internal hollow volume 86.
- the lower part of the wall 85 which is arranged in the diametral plane, has an external face forming the lower face 84 of the piston 81 and an internal face 87 equipped with tubular elements 88 peripheral arranged at the angular positions 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 °.
- tubular elements 88 put the interior 86 of the piston 81 in communication with the exterior and in particular with the interstitial space 83 in the pressed position of the piston 80 on the support 1 as shown in FIG. 9D.
- These tubular elements 88 are connected by means of pipes not shown in the drawing to non-localized reagent tanks, which are also not shown in the drawing and corresponding to the tanks 12 and 13 of FIG. 3 illustrating the first embodiment. It is thus possible to supply non-localized reagents with the interstitial space 83 of very reduced volume, without breaking the saturation of the entire reaction vessel 5.
- the tubular elements 88 allow also ensuring the evacuation of said non-localized reagents and / or the drying of the substrate, by passing for example using a gas flow or even by suction, pumping.
- the non-localized supply means 8 and their displacement means 40 are controlled by a central unit control capable of managing all the washing, rinsing, evacuation, drying, etc. feeding procedures useful in the context of the inking and / or synthesis process of localized OGNs specific to the invention.
- the invention relates to a support carrying an OGN sequence network as defined above.
- the present invention also relates to a method for detecting and / or identifying target OGN sequences using biosensors comprising probes formed from OGN sequences complementary to the target OGN sequences and capable of pairing with each other by affine interaction, characterized
- the "picogreen” is a molecule presenting a fluorescence signal in the presence of double strands of DNA.
- the picogreen does not require any particular reaction, and must simply be placed in the presence of the double strands for 5 min before the fluorescence measurement.
- This molecule therefore has several advantages over the products conventionally used for the detection of double strands, whether they are fluorescent markers (fluorescein, rhodamine, etc.), or intercalators (ethidium bromide, Hoechst 33258).
- Picogreen does not require any labeling reaction, unlike fluorescent probes used in DNA chips. Its fluorescence signal has excellent linearity over a wide range of concentrations. It thus makes it possible to detect double strands at concentrations much lower than those measurable with conventional intercalators, even in the presence of contaminants (single strands of DNA, RNA) in the measurement solution. Thus the sensitivity of picogreen is up to 400 times better than Hoechst 33258, itself having better sensitivity than ethidium bromide.
- the picogreen is therefore more suitable than these intercalators for the detection of hybridization on high or medium density chips, which involve hybridization units of reduced size.
- the fluorescence signal is independent of the base composition of the sequence tested, unlike the Hoechst product.
- the subject of the invention is a method for detecting and / or identifying target OGN sequences using biosensors comprising probes formed from OGN sequences complementary to the target OGN sequences and capable of pairing with each other by affine interaction, characterized
- this support is conformed by an affinity sensor comprising at least one structure comprising at least one semiconductor material Se, coated on at least one of its faces with at least one layer of Is insulator, the latter having OGN probes on its surface,
- Table 1 shows an example of classification in the case of phosphoramidite chemistry which will be used later. Many variations are possible without changing the scope of the invention.
- Table 1 Example of classification of the modes of action of products and reagents (phosphoramidite chemistry) 1.2. Device
- the device used is that described above with reference to FIG. 3.
- This device comprises a projection system (6) formed by 6 microvalve devices of the type of those shown in FIG. 3 A, to project reagents A, C and D from Table 1 (1 valve for reagent A, 1 valve for reagent D, valves for the 4 bases of C).
- the device further comprises 6 non-localized supply means (10) of the type of those shown in FIG. 3 for reagents A, B, E, F and G of Table 1.
- the device also includes means for drying the substrate with argon gas (ie the reagent H in Table 1).
- the support consists of a silicon or glass plate comprising 256 wells in lithographic resin (epoxy).
- Each microwell has a surface of 415 x 415 ⁇ m and a height of approximately 415 ⁇ m.
- the volume of the wells must be such that it is filled without overflowing by the projection of a drop of base and a drop of activator.
- the protocol for manufacturing microwells on this size of silicon is as follows: 1. Cleaning of the substrate (acetone, alcohol, etc.) 2. Drying with dry argon
- the crosslinking of the resin is sufficiently advanced for the superstructure to be inert with respect to the synthesis of oligonucleotides.
- the control of the displacement means is adjusted so that the distance between the tip of the nozzles is approximately 1 mm from the opening of the well 4, when projecting localized liquids.
- the pressure of the bottles containing the localized reagents is between:
- the memory 15 and the central unit 16 are loaded so as to produce the network comprising all the variants of the following OGN (written in the manufacturing direction 3 'to 5'):
- Xi, X 2 , and X 3 form the 64 possible combinations of A, C, G and T. This example was chosen because the special case X ⁇ X 2 X 3 ⁇ ACG is the OGN L226 of biological interest.
- the invention finds a preferred application for the manufacture of a support carrying on at least one of its faces a plurality of polynucleotide sequences preferably oligo nucleotide and / or peptide different from each other and corresponding to their complementary.
