We have succeeded in developing high affinity and high specificity aptamers for both the spike protein (S1) and the nucleoprotein from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). These aptamers have been characterized and are available for purchase. We are working with several partners globally to apply these aptamers in… Read More »NeoVentures Develops Aptamers for COVID-19
NeoVentures has successfully developed aptamers for both the spike protein and the nucleoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Spike protein aptamers were developed against a recombinant S1 protein from the Wuhan strain expressed in HEK293 cells in order to maintain appropriate glycosylation, counter selection was performed against… Read More »Neo Ventures Announcement
Why are there not more aptamer based therapeutics? This blog by Drew Smith in 2019 nails a lot of the reasons, and in particular the issues related to the rapid clearance of aptamers from the body. https://drewsmithblog.com/2019/05/aptamers-still-looking-for-euphoria-in-the-wrong-places/. He effectively points out that the aptamer that… Read More »Aptamers in therapeutics ? (Why not)
In a previous blog I stressed the need to further improve aptamer performance after SELEX identification in order to develop aptamers that are effective enough to be commercialized. I promised that I would describe how we do this at NeoVentures in more detail in a… Read More »Optimized Aptamers II
In the ever-evolving field of diagnostics, precision and predictability are key to developing reliable products. However, the traditional reliance on antibodies poses significant challenges due to the inherent uncertainties in measuring their binding affinity and quantity. This creates a complex, two-variable problem that complicates product… Read More »The Aptamer Advantage: Breaking Free from Antibody Uncertainty
For aptamers to be able to compete with antibodies in health care applications they need to perform as well as antibodies. At NeoVentures we have considered how antibodies evolve in response to an antigen and we have applied a similar approach to the optimization of… Read More »Optimized Aptamers
In the rapidly evolving field of biotechnology, researchers constantly develop new tools and technologies to address pressing matters. One such technology that has been gaining significant attention is aptamers. These versatile, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules have the unique ability to bind to specific targets.… Read More »Advantages of Aptamers – Why You Should Know Aptamers!
