Abstract
Assays for target molecules in and from cells and viruses, e.g. nucleic acids, wherein non-specific background is decreased by including an analogue of the reporter group, e.g. a non-fluorescent analogue such as fuchsin, of a fluorescent group such as fluorescein, to decrease non-specific backround.
