文摘
Shrimp allergy is a common cause of allergenic diseases. The authors describe an aptamer-based assay for tropomyosin, one of the major allergens of shrimp. After six rounds of SELEX based on nitrocellulose membrane, several aptamers with high affinity (Kd = 109.6 nM) were identified that can selectively recognize tropomyosin but not other proteins over a large range of concentrations. By using a fluorescent and graphene oxide based platform, a tropomyosin assay was worked out that has a 4.2 nM detection limit and work in the 0.5 to 50 μg·mL−1 concentration range. The aptamers selected hold a great potential for tropomyosin detection in practical biosensor assays.
