The present invention concerns processes for the detection and quantitation of nucleic acid molecules, polynucleotides, and/or oligonucleotides in a sample using hybridizationdetection assays, antibody-mediated recognition assays, nucleic acid sensor molecules, chromatographic assays, and/or electrophoresis assays. The present invention specifically concerns processes for the detection and quantitation of double stranded nucleic acid molecules, polynucleotides, and/or oligonucleotides in a sample using hybridization-detection assays. The nucleic acid molecules, polynucleotides, and/or oligonucleotides can include molecules that mediate RNA interference, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules. The nucleic acid molecules, polynucleotides, and/or oligonucleotides can include nucleic acid aptamers, enzymatic nucleic acid molecules, decoys, antisense, 2',5&#x2032;-oligoadenylate molecules, triplex forming oligonucleotides or any other nucleic acid molecule of interest. The present invention also concerns kits that allow for the detection and quantitation of nucleic acid molecules, polynucleotides, and/or oligonucleotides in a sample.

Detection and quantitation of nucleic acid molecules in biological samples

The present invention relates to antibodies, antibody conjugates, and compositions thereof, methods of antibody synthesis, and applications of antibodies useful for detecting the presence of nucleic acid molecules in vivo, such as in a clinical setting. The antibodies of the invention are also useful as screening agents which allow the selection of candidate therapeutic molecules for optimum bioavailability and/or activity, and as delivery agents for cell and tissue specific delivery of nucleic acid molecules.
