Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2850669A1] Preparing a set of agents (A) for detecting presence of one or more nucleic acids (I), where each (I) results (in)directly from transcription of a gene (B) inducible by a mediator of inflammation, is new. Process for preparing a set of agents (A) for detecting presence of one or more nucleic acids (I), where each (I) results (in)directly from transcription of a gene (B) inducible by a mediator of inflammation comprises first preparing a collection of nucleic acids (Ia) contained within (B) by: (a) selecting, from one or more collections of human sequences that together cover the entire human genome at least once, those sequences that include at least one copy of specific sequences (1)-(4), then forming a first collection of sequences (S1) from each selected sequence, where each S1 comprises (5' to 3') a sequence (1)-(4) followed by 285 consecutive nucleotides (nt) in each selected sequence, immediately 3' to (1)-(4); (b) removing (1)-(4) from each S1, forming a second collection (S2) containing all the modified sequences formed, each of which constitutes a probe; (c) screening S2 for presence of at least one copy of (1)-(4) and eliminating any that contain a copy, resulting in collection (S3) of sequences; (d) screening S3 for Alu and repeat elements and modifying any that contain such elements by masking or by replacing each A,T,G and C in the element by random nucleotides, to form a collection (S4) of all sequences in S3, optionally modified; (e) selecting from one or more collections of sequences comprising human genomic transcription products those sequences that contain at least one sequence present in S4, to produce a collection (S5); (f) selecting from S5 sequences that contain at least 60 consecutive nt that define a chain at least 97% identical with a sequence present in at least one probe of S2 to form a collection (S6) of sequences present in (B). Then a collection of probes (P1) that hybridize specifically with the transcription products of at least one (B) is synthesized, where (B) includes a sequence present in S6, and P1 represents agents (A). Independent claims are also included for: (1) set of agents for detecting (I) comprising, for each (I), at least one specific hybridizing probe prepared by the new method; (2) device for detecting (I) comprising at least one probe prepared by the new method, immobilized on a support; (3) detecting (I), using the set of (1) or the device of (2) in a hybridization test; (4) determining the expression profile of (B) from mRNA, or derived cDNA, of a mammal, by applying it to the set of (1) or the device of (2) and identifying probes that hybridize, or by applying method (3) to the sample; and (5) kit for determining the expression profile of (B) comprising the set of (1) or the device of (2).
