INHIBITOR OF NON-SPECIFIC BINDING OF NUCLEIC ACID, HYBRIDIZATION REAGENT AND NUCLEIC ACID HYBRIDIZATION METHOD

摘要

A non-specific-binding inhibitor enables, in detection of a target nucleic acid by hybridization, effective inhibition of cross-hybridization between the target nucleic acid and complementary strands of sequences similar thereto, which non-specific-binding inhibitor has a stable quality among production lots, and a hybridization method for nucleic acid uses the inhibitor. The non-specific-binding inhibitor for nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid which has a base length of 2 to 11 bases and in which the content of a guanine base(s) and/or methylated guanine base(s) in the entire base sequence is not less than 70%.
