DNA aptamers, which bind specific molecule, such as 8-OHdG, with high affinity were investigated using an in vitro selection strategy called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). However, 8-OHdG was difficult to immobilize on a carrier for SELEX. Therefore, a DNA aptamer binding to 8-OHdG was selected using GMP-agarose as an analogue from a library of about 460 random ssDNA sources. As a result, three aptamer candidates were selected. Among the selected DNA aptamers, the No. 22 DNA aptamer exhibited a high affinity for 8-OHdG. The dissociation constant, KD, of No. 22 DNA aptamer was on the order of 0.1 μmol/L. This result suggests that using an analogue will be a useful new SELEX method for obtaining various aptamers that are difficult to immobilize on a matrix. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
