آپتامرها و کاربردهای بیولوژیکی-درمانی آنها
Aptamers are the artificial single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences (more recently, peptides) that fold into secondary and tertiary structures making them bind to certain targets with extremely high specificity. Aptamers were reported for the first time in 1990, a number of their unique features make them a more effective choice than antibodies. Aptamers typically generated through Systematic Ev...
متن کاملDevelopment of a DNA Aptamer for Screening Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B by Cell SELEX
Background: Artificial oligonucleotides like DNA or RNA aptamers can be used as biodiagnostic alternatives for antibodies to detect pathogens. Comparing to antibodies, artificial oligonucleotides are produced easily at lower costs and are more stable. Neisseria meningitidis, the causative agent of meningitis, is responsible for about 1% of infections in an epidemic period. Specific DNA aptamers...

متن کاملThe Use of Aptamer in Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria-
Detection, identification and measurement of microbial pathogens is critical for protecting public health. Although microbial culture-based tests and molecular techniques are currently the most commonly used, these techniques are time-consuming and require complex tools and experienced individuals. Consequently, it is costly to analyze these techniques. The emergence of the aptamer led to the e...
متن کاملIn Vitro Biocontrol of Escherichia coli Through the Immobilization of its Specific Lytic Bacteriophage on Cellulose Acetate Biodegradable Film
Background and Aims: Bacteriophages are mandatory bacterial parasites that are harmless to human and animal, which are used by dipping or spraying in food as natural antimicrobial agents. The use of these methods leads to wasting or trapping of phage in food, but its immobilization on the polymer surface facilitates the contact of phage with the host cell at the food surface. Therefore, the aim...
