Aptamer probes for specific recognition of glioblastoma multiforme were generated using a repetitive and broad cell-SELEX-based procedure without negative selection. The 454 sequencing technology was used to monitor SELEX, and bioinformatics tools were used to identify aptamers from high throughput data. A group of aptamers were generated that can bind to target cells specifically with dissociation constants (K-d) in the nanomolar range. Selected aptamers showed high affinity to different types of glioblastoma cell lines while showing little or no affinity to other cancer cell lines. The aptamers generated in this study have potential use in different applications, such as probes for diagnosis and devices for targeted drug delivery, as well as tools for molecular marker discovery for glioblastomas.

Evaluation of Staphylococcus aureus DNA aptamer by enzyme-linked aptamer assay and isothermal titration calorimetry
BAYRAÇ, CEREN; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2017-02-01)
To monitor the specificity of Staphylococcus aureus aptamer (SA-31) against its target cell, we used enzyme-linked aptamer assay. In the presence of target cell, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin bound to biotin-labeled SA-31 showed specific binding to S aureus among 3 different bacteria with limit of detection of 103 colony-forming unit per milliliter. The apparent K-a was 1.39 mu M-1 +/- 0.3 mu M-1. The binding of SA-31 to membrane proteins extracted from cell surface was characterized using ...
In vitro induction of growth and development of common juniper(Juniperus communis L.) from shoot and bud explants
Koçer, Zeynep Ahsen; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
The objective of the study was to investigate the optimum conditions for in vitro regeneration of common juniper (Juniperus communis L.) by using indirect organogenesis approach. Throughout the study; callus induction, organogenesis, improved organogenesis and root induction experiments were performed sequentially. It was found that explant position, genotype, gender, treatments and sampling time had significant effects on callus induction rate in common juniper. The results of treatments indicated that IBA...
Immunoadjuvant action of plasmid DNA in liposomes
Gürsel, Mayda; Ozkan, M; Özcengiz, Gülay (1999-03-17)
Bacterial DNA and oligodeoxynucleotides containing immunostimulatory sequences with a CpG motif stimulated a Th1 type response in vivo. The adjuvant action of a non-coding plasmid DNA derived from pRc/CMV HBS (encoding the S region of hepatitis B surface antigen, HBsAg) in mice was investigated. The role of methylation on the adjuvanticity of the plasmid as well as the effect of vaccine formulation employed on the outcome of antigen-specific humoral and cellular responses were also studied. The results demo...
In vivo response to biodegradable controlled antibiotic release systems
Korkusuz, F; Korkusuz, P; Eksioglu, F; Gursel, I; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2001-05-01)
In this study, the major goal was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo findings by macroscopy, radiology, and histology to determine the effectiveness of therapy of experimental implant-related osteomyelitis with antibiotic carrier rods constructed of microbial polyesters. The polymers used were poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-4-HB)] and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxy-valerate) [P(3-HB-co-3-HV)]. Both the Sulperazone(R) and the Duocid(R)-P(3-HB-co-4-HB) rods with a drug to polymer ra...
