Integrin beta chain-2 (CD18) aptamer



Description

Famulok, M. et al. reported aptamers with affinity for CD18 in their article published in 1998. The TR-D28 aptamer was named by Famulok, M. et al. in the article[1].



SELEX

In their work published in 1999, Famulok, M. et al. used SELEX to isolate RNA aptamer sequences with affinity for CD18 from a nucleic acid library containing about 5×1014 sequences after 11 rounds of selection process. Proteins was pre-linked with agarose beads before co-incubation with nucleic acid libraries[1].

Detailed information are accessible on SELEX page.



Structure

The 2D structure of the figure is based on the article by online secondary structure prediction tool to draw. The figure shows the secondary structure prediction of the original aptamer sequence. This aptamer contains only one stem loop with multiple bulge. The 5' and 3' ends of aptamer each has an overhang[1].

Ligand information

SELEX ligand

In molecular biology, CD18 (Integrin beta chain-2) is an integrin beta chain protein that is encoded by the ITGB2 gene in humans. Upon binding with one of a number of alpha chains, CD18 is capable of forming multiple heterodimers, which play significant roles in cellular adhesion and cell surface signaling, as well as important roles in immune responses. CD18 also exists in soluble, ligand binding forms. Deficiencies in CD18 expression can lead to adhesion defects in circulating white blood cells in humans, reducing the immune system's ability to fight off foreign invaders.-----From Wikipedia
