Fig. 9.
(A) 24 h stability time course of 1 μM phosphorothioate-linked PS-22/9/9 (green) or phosphodiester-linked 22/9/9 (red) TIVA probes in 10% FBS. Cy3–Cy5 FRET efficiencies were measured by fluorimeter and then normalized against starting values. (B) 48 h stability time course of 1 μM PS-22/9/9 (bottom) or 22/9/9 (top) probes in 10% FBS using gel electrophoresis. At each time point a sample was mixed with a nuclease inhibitor and flash frozen. After 48 h, all samples were loaded onto a 20% acrylamide denaturing gel and eluted using 100 V for 120 min. Cy3 fluorescence is shown in green and Cy5 fluorescence in red.
