Abstract

The invention relates to a method for screening an aptamer specifically bound with an alpha-fetoprotein by using a capillary electrophoresis technology. The method comprises the following steps of designing and establishing a random oligonucleotide library; enriching oligonucleotides which can be bound with alpha-fetoprotein by combining a capillary electrophoresis technology and an SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) screening method; and cloning, sequencing, and carrying out capillary electrophoresis analysis and immunofluorescence verification to finally obtain oligonucleotides which can be specifically bound with the alpha-fetoprotein, namely the aptamer. The invention provides an efficient and specific aptamer screening method. The method has the advantages that the screening time is shortened by means of the advantage of the capillary electrophoresis technology, and the screening operation can be finished through four rounds of circulation; and meanwhile, the non-specific screening caused by a matrix effect is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a screening method for nucleic acid aptamers specifically binding to alpha-fetoprotein. Background technique [0002] Aptamer (aptamer) is a single-stranded oligonucleotide (ssDNA or RNA) that recognizes target molecules through structure specificity. Its principle of action is similar to that of antibodies, and at the same time, it has the advantages of non-immunogenicity, chemical synthesis, easy modification, low cost, and good stability. It has broad application prospects in clinical diagnosis, new drug development, and basic research. [0003] The Aptamer screening technology is named as the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, referred to as SELEX (Systematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment), which is a new combinatorial chemistry technology developed in the early 1990s. The basic idea is: construct an oligonucleotide librar...
