Selection of aptamers targeting the sialic acid receptor of hemagglutinin by epitope-specific SELEX.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new SELEX scheme is proposed for the selection of aptamers targeting a specific epitope of a native protein. Anti-sialic acid receptor (SAR) aptamers that inhibit H1 hemagglutination at a low picomole dose are selected accordingly.

Specific detection of Shigella sonnei by enzyme-linked aptamer sedimentation assay
Development of potent new anti-Shigella agents for rapid and specific detection and treatment is of great importance. Aptamers, nucleic acid oligomers capable of specific binding to a wide range of non-nucleic acid targets, may be of value for this purpose. In the present study, we used a Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential enrichment (SELEX) process to select DNA aptamers that b...

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 کاملSelection of Nucleic Acid Aptamers Targeting Tumor Cell-Surface Protein Biomarkers
Aptamers are nucleic acids referred to as chemical antibodies as they bind to their specific targets with high affinity and selectivity. They are selected via an iterative process known as 'selective evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment' (SELEX). Aptamers have been developed against numerous cancer targets and among them, many tumor cell-membrane protein biomarkers. The identification...
