摘要:
The present invention provides aptamers that specifically bind to the EGF receptor in a sample, and diagnostic and analytical methods using those aptamers. In some embodiments, the aptamers include a 3' cap. In some embodiments, the 3' cap is an inverted deoxythymidine. In some embodiments the aptamers include a spacer and at least one moiety selected from the group consisting of binding pair member and a detectable label, wherein the spacer is attached to the 5'-end of the aptamer and the moiety is attached the 5' end of the spacer. In some embodiments the spacer is hexaethylene glycol. In some embodiments, the binding pair member biotin. In some embodiments the detectable label is a fluorophore.

The present application includes biomarkers, methods, devices, reagents, systems, and kits for the detection and diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer and general cancer. In one aspect, the application provides biomarkers that can be used alone or in various combinations to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer or general cancer. In another aspect, methods are provided for diagnosing non-small cell lung cancer in an individual, where the methods include detecting, in a biological sample from an individual, at least one biomarker value corresponding to at least one biomarker selected from the group of biomarkers provided in Table 1, wherein the individual is classified as having lung cancer, or the likelihood of the individual having lung cancer is determined, based on the at least one biomarker value. In another aspect, methods are provided for diagnosing cancer in an individual, where the methods include detecting, in a biological sample from an individual, at least one biomarker value corresponding to at least one biomarker selected from the group of biomarkers provided in Table 19, wherein the individual is classified as having cancer, or the likelihood of the individual having cancer is determined, based on the at least one biomarker value.

The present disclosure describes improved SELEX methods for producing aptamers that are capable of binding to target molecules and improved photoSELEX methods for producing photo reactive aptamers that are capable of both binding and covalently cross linking to target molecules. Specifically, the present disclosure describes methods for producing aptamers and photoaptamers having slower dissociation rate constants than are obtained using prior SELEX and photoSELEX methods. The disclosure further describes aptamers and photoaptamers having slower dissociation rate constants than those obtained using prior methods. In addition, the disclosure describes aptamer constructs that include a variety of functionalities, including a cleavable element, a detection element, and a capture or immobilization element.
摘要:
The present disclosure describes methods for producing aptamers and photoaptamers having slower dissociation rate constants than are obtained using prior SELEX and photoSELEX methods. The disclosure further describes aptamers and photoaptamers having slower dissociation rate constants than those obtained using prior methods. This invention relates to the field of diagnostic histology, cytology, histopathology, and cytopathology methods and reagents for the detection of various disease states. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of aptamers in histologic, cytologic, histopathic, and/or cytopathic diagnostic methods. Aptamers may be provided that react with specific target molecules contained within a histological or cytological sample. Aptamers may be used to assess localization, relative density, and presence or absence of one or more target. Targets may be selected that are specific and diagnostic of a given disease state for which the sample was collected. Aptamers may be used to introduce target specific signal moieties. Antigen retrieval methods may be applied to the sample prior to reaction with the specific aptamer/s to improve interaction of the aptamer and target within the sample. Or aptamers may be developed for the specific target that eliminates the need for the antigen retrieval process. In addition to target identification, aptamers may be used to amplify signal generation through a variety of methods.
