ABSTRACT
Objective Establish detection method to measure Vibrio vulnificus rapidly and accurately.MethodsUsing flow cytometry(FCM)and a 5'-FITC fluorescent labeled aptamer with high binding affinity to detect Vibrio vulnificus rapidly.Measure a series of concentrations of Vibrio vulnificus to identify the Limit of Blank, Lower Limit of Detection, Linearity Range, etc.ResultsCombined application of FCM and the aptamer can detect Vibrio vulnificus rapidly with the duration less than 1 hour and lower limit of detection as low as 29 CFU/mL.Conclusion The aptamer targeting Vibrio vulnificus is an excellent detective element, while FCM can realize accurate quantitative detection.The detection method has great application potential.
ABSTRACT
c-Met is one member of the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs).It is closely related between the over-expression of c-Met and a wide variety of tumor occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis, prognosis and drug resistance.Therefore, c-Met is a potential target for oncotherapy, and researches on its inhibitors have become a hot spot in the field of tumor treatment.Aptamers targeting c-Met are gained from systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX).They can bind to c-Met with high specificity and affinity, resulting in the activation or inhibition of c-Met.We envision that anti-c-Met aptamers would be ideal new c-Met inhibitors after optimization, and could be developed into potential targeted drugs for cancers.
