- 1. aptamer
- [Aptamers are double-stranded DNA or single-stranded RNA oligonucleotide sequences with the capacity to recognize target molecules with high affinity and specificity. Fundamentally distinct from antibodies, aptamers mimic their properties and have emerged as a promising class of molecules in both therapeutic and diagnostic formats. In having small size (8-15 kDa) relative to antibodies (150 kDa), aptamers are candidates for rapid tumor penetration and blood clearance.

- 2. Aptamer Technology
- [Technologies that utilize aptamers (short rigid oligonucleotides that recognize target molecules with high affinity) for biosensors, diagnostic assays, therapeutics, etc. For example, a specific aptamer that binds tightly to a specific protein might replace a monoclonal antibody in a diagnostic assay.
