Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Nucleic acid probes that are susceptible to chemical or enzymatic degradation are described herein. In addition, assays and methods using such probes in the detection of target nucleic acid sequences are disclosed. The target-specific hybridization region or target-complementary region of the degradable probes can be separated via a degradation process from the detectable region. The remaining portion of the degradable probes can be easily detected. The use of the degradable probes described herein improves the signal-to-noise ratio by reducing background specific or non-specific signal generation in assays and methods of nucleic acid detection.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 18, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 18, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 18, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
