(Polymer-oligonucleotide) conjugates were obtained via direct ON synthesis
from the poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride: PEMA) grafted onto glass bead
surfaces. The effect of the ON number per polymer chain on binding was eval
uated through Tnt experiments. Results were correlated with ELOSA (Enzyme L
inked Oligosorbent Assay) tests run with conjugates in the capture step.
