Resum:
In this paper, we describe the development of an enzyme-linked oligonucleotide assay for the detection of a human leukocyte antigen allele associated with celiac disease based on cyclodextrin-modified polymeric surfaces. The surface of maleimide-pre-coated plates was modified with a layer of thiolated cyclodextrin polymer and used for the supramolecular capture of adamantane or ferrocene-modified carboxymethylcellulose polymers bearing DNA probes. The assay was optimised in terms of incubation time, temperature, and surface chemistry and applied to the highly sensitive and selective detection of HLA sequences with a limit of detection of 0.7 nM. A real sample analysed using this platform showed an excellent correlation with maleimide-activated plates using thiolated DNA probes. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
