Popis: | The present study demonstrates, development of ssDNA aptamers against whole cell of S. flexneri employing a whole bacterium-based Systemic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). After ten rounds of SELEX, cell surface specific aptamer pool was cloned, sequenced and divided based on sequence similarities and secondary structure. Binding affinity of FITC labelled aptamer from different group were carried out by flow cytometry analysis. The dissociation constant (Kd) values for specific and higher binder were evaluated to range from 144 to 329 nM. Six high binding aptamers with lower dissociation constant was chosen for selectivity study. Aptamer SHI 23, SHI 37 and SHI 42 showed higher selectivity towards S. flexneri in comparison with other related bacteria. Further applicability of selected aptamer was proven by fluorescence assay for convenience detection of target cell from spiked water sample and natural contaminated water samples. Altogether, aptamer generated in this study can be alternative DNA ligands for detection of S. flexneri compared to available ligands. |
