Development of a biosensor for electrochemical detection of tumor-associated proteins in blood plasma of cancer patients by aptamers

详细

A molecular biosensor based on DNA aptamers (aptasensor) for the diagnosis of lung cancer in blood plasma samples was designed. To create the aptasensor, the aptamer 17_80, obtained in the study of postoperative material, was used. The affinity and binding selectivity of the aptamer 17_80 to the lung tumor tissue was confirmed on histological sections of postmortem samples of lung tissue. Using affinity enrichment and mass spectrometry, a possible target molecule of the aptamer 17_80, vimentin, was found.
