Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the KRAS gene occur frequently in various human tumors and are known to lead to malignant transformation. We isolated RNA aptamers targeting activated mutant KRAS proteins using an improved SELEX method by isothermal RNA amplification. RNA aptamers were selected against mutant KRAS (G12V) proteins, as well as a biotinylated 15-amino-acid peptide from the carboxyl terminal of KRAS that contains a...
