Evidence for G-quadruplex DNA in human cells.

Seen in human cells: A fluorochrome-labeled antibody probe selectively and efficiently binds all types of DNA G-quadruplex with similar binding affinities, but hardly binds single- or double-stranded DNA, or RNA hairpins. Thus, this antibody strictly discriminates between G-quadruplex structures and other conformations of DNA and provides evidence for G-quadruplex DNA in human cells.
