 An antibody alternative for detection applications
More stable than antibodies, aptamers have a longer shelf life and are produced simply, quickly and inexpensively. Unlike antibodies, aptamers do not need animals or an immune response for their production, and their use in diagnostics is starting to take off.
What’s next for aptamers in diagnostics?

| | |  For many years, it was thought that acute viral infections, such as COVID-19 or Zika, were the cause of neurological damage. | | | | |  In a recent study published in the eBioMedicine Journal, researchers began a discovery program for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-neutralizing antibodies (nABs) potentially targeting its resistant strains. | | | | |  What makes a soldier switch sides? That is a really good question. Especially when the soldier is an antibody that is supposed to defend the body against one of the world's most dangerous snake venoms but instead ends up helping the venom kill the body. | | | | |  Cytokines are chemical messengers that help the body get rid of invading bacteria and viruses, and control inflammation. | | | | |  Researchers performed a meta-analysis of randomized trial studies that compared the use of amyloid-reducing monoclonal antibodies (MABs) in patients with Alzheimer's dementia at a dose consistent with that used in Phase 3 or FDA approval trials with the use of a placebo. | |
