Hm. Sasmor et al., A PRACTICAL METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS AND PURIFICATION OF C-14-LABELEDOLIGONUCLEOTIDES, Journal of labelled compounds & radiopharmaceuticals, 36(1), 1995, pp. 15-31
A practical method for the solid-phase synthesis and purification of C
-14 labeled oligonucleotides is described. A streamlined procedure for
the synthesis of 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-2-(C-14)-thymidine 3'-(2-cyanoe
thyl-N,N-diisopropyl) phosphoramidite from commercially available 2-(C
-14) labeled thymidine nucleoside is detailed. Methodology for the man
ual synthesis, isolation, and purification of a high specific activity
oligonucleotide phosphorothioate 20-mer (ISIS 2105) are elaborated.
