Aptamers Against Cell Surface Receptors: Selection, Modification and Application
29 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Aptamers are synthetic oligonucleotides selected from pools of random-sequence oligonucleotides which bind to a wide range of biomolecular targets with high affinity and specificity. Compared with antibodies, aptamers exhibit significant advantages including small size, easy synthesis and modification, as well as low immunogenicity. Many of the aptamers also show inhibition of their targets, making them potential...
