ABSTRACT

(Polymer-oligonucleotide) conjugates were obtained via direct ON synthesis from the poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride: PEMA) grafted onto glass bead surfaces. The effect of the ON number per polymer chain on binding was evaluated through Tm experiments. Results were correlated with ELOSA (Enzyme Linked Oligosorbent Assay) tests run with conjugates in the capture step.
