  • DNA aptamer specifically binding to pLDH (plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase)
    Patent number: 8541561
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a DNA aptamer specifically binding to pLDH (Plasmodium Lactate Dehydrogenase), a composition for the diagnosis of malaria, comprising the same, and a diagnostic kit for malaria using the same. Superior in specificity and stability to antibodies which are conventionally used to diagnose malaria, the DNA aptamers specifically binding to pLDH (Plasmodium Lactate Dehydrogenase) in accordance with the present invention can be developed into biosensors which determine pLDH levels with high sensitivity and accuracy, greatly contributing to the diagnostic accuracy of malaria.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Changill Ban, Weejeong Jeon, Seonghwan Lee
  • DNA aptamer specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I
    Patent number: 8404448
    Abstract: Disclosed are a DNA aptamer specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I, and a composition and a diagnostic kit for the diagnosis of acute cardiovascular diseases, comprising the same. Being superior in specificity and stability to antibodies which are conventionally used to diagnose acute cardiovascular diseases, the DNA aptamers specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I can be developed into biosensors which determine human cardiac troponin I levels with high sensitivity and accuracy, greatly contributing to the diagnosis in an early stage of acute cardiovascular diseases. It is expected to lots of help for increase of diagnostic accuracy.
