Provided herein are a probe capable of simultaneously detecting a virus and treating virus-infected cells, a composition for detecting a virus, which comprises the probe, a composition for treating a virus, which comprises the probe, and a method of detecting a virus or treating a viral infection by using the same. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to simultaneously perform diagnosis by virus detection and treatment of virus-infected cells, and in particular, diagnosis and treatment may be simultaneously performed on various types of viruses by varying the type of molecular beacon, and thus may be usefully applied to virus diagnosis and treatment fields, which require rapid diagnosis and treatment, and the spread of viral infections may be effectively prevented. In addition, the probe of the present disclosure has excellent stability and excellent detection sensitivity, and thus enables the detection of even a very low amount of a target at the pmole level.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods of making barcoded solid supports. In some embodiments, the methods include producing a concatemer by rolling circle amplification (RCA) of a circular nucleic acid template, where the circular nucleic acid template includes a barcode and a stem-loop forming region, and where the concatemer includes a plurality of linked units, each unit including the barcode and a stem-loop structure formed from the stem-loop forming region. Such methods further include disposing the concatemer on a solid support to produce a barcoded solid support including a plurality of the stem-loop structures extending from the surface of the solid support. The methods may further include treating the stem-loop structures with an agent that produces stem structures having ends compatible with target nucleic acids, and attaching the target nucleic acids to the stem structures. Barcoded solid supports and methods of using the barcoded solid supports are also provided.
