The present invention provides a hybridization method and kit for the
detection and measurement of biological molecules. A test sample
containing the biological molecules of interest is hybridized with an
unlabeled or optionally a detectably-labeled complementary biomolecule to
form a double-stranded hybrid immobilized to a solid phase. The
immobilized hybrid may be detected with an entity which specifically
recognizes an RNA:DNA hybrid, followed by analyses and quantification.
Therefore, the present invention provides a method and kit to detect and
measure biological molecules that is simple to use, highly specific,
sensitive, and accurate for screening a plurality of biological
molecules.
