摘要：

A new class of nucleic acid compounds, referred to as nucleic acid antibodies, have been shown to exist that have a specific binding affinity for three dimensional molecular targets. In a preferred embodiment the ligand components of the nucleic acid antibodies are identified by the method of the invention referred to as the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX), wherein a candidate mixture of nucleic acids are iteratively enriched in high affinity nucleic acids and amplified for further partitioning.
