Abstract
In this study, we successfully developed a ssDNA aptamer pairs by using an advanced immobilization-free SELEX method with affinity-based selection and counter-screening process at every round. By implementing this method, two different aptamers specifically binding to bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1(BVDV type 1) with high affinity were successfully screened. This aptamer pair was applied to ultrasensitive detection platform for BVDV type 1 in a sandwich manner. The ultrasensitive detection of BVDV type 1 using one of aptamers conjugated with gold nanoparticles was obtained in aptamer-aptamer sandwich type sensing format, with the limit of detection of 800. copies/ml, which is comparable to a real-time PCR method.
