Popis: A fully automated two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) system was employed for DNA aptamer selection against an unidentified protein in a mouse liver tissue extract as a model target. A 2DE-based systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (2DE-SELEX) was demonstrated for aptamer selection against a single protein spot that was separated on a nitrocellulose membrane. After four iterative 2DE-SELEX cycles, the oligonucleotide pool was sequenced and aptamer sequences were identified. A blotting assay showed that an identified aptamer with a stable stem–loop structure had specific binding activity against the target protein. The 2DE-SELEX was shown to be promising for the development of aptamers against unidentified proteins in complex samples for proteomic analysis and biomarker discovery.
