Can aptamers replace antibodies? Almost all existing diagnostic kits are based on the use of an antibody for the target compound. A $17B industry has been built on this basis. However, antibodies have their limitations: Antibodies will not detect small molecules unless the small molecule… Read More »Aptamers Vs Antibodies
Advantages Of Aptamers Over Antibodies For diagnosis of viral infection aptamers are clearly the preferred choice over antibodies in the developing world where the need for consistent refrigeration may pose a problem. We have been able to achieve the necessary levels of sensitivity with aptamers… Read More »Aptamers Vs Antibodies
The painting above is an early Van Gogh from Paris. You can see the basis for the talent that was to follow but it is also easy to see why this painting did not sell. Commercializing a new product is implicitly a conflict between adding… Read More »Commercializing Aptamers III
