Live cell-based SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligand EXponential enrichment) is a promising approach for identifying aptamers that can selectively bind to a cell-surface antigen or a particular target cell population. In particular, it offers a facile selection strategy for some special cell-surface proteins that are original glycosylated or heavily post-translationally modified, and are unavailable in their native/active conformation after in vitro expression and purification. In this chapter, we describe evolution of cell-type-specific RNA aptamers targeting the human CCR5 by combining the live cell-based SELEX strategy with high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and bioinformatics analysis.
基于活细胞的SELEX(指数富集配体系统进化技术)是一种很有前景的方法,用于鉴定能选择性结合细胞表面抗原或特定靶细胞群体的适体。特别是,它为一些特殊的细胞表面蛋白提供了一种简便的筛选策略,这些蛋白最初是糖基化的或经过大量翻译后修饰,在体外表达和纯化后无法以其天然/活性构象获得。在本章中,我们通过将基于活细胞的SELEX策略与高通量测序(HTS)和生物信息学分析相结合,描述了针对人类CCR5的细胞类型特异性RNA适体的进化。
