Colorimetric analysis of C-reactive protein via 'jellyfish' probe-based exonuclease III-assisted multiple-signal recycles
Biotechniques. 2023 Aug 24. doi: 10.2144/btn-2023-0018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTC-reactive protein (CRP) is a potential biomarker for evaluating inflammatory responses in patients receiving coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Here, the authors depict a sensitive and reliable colorimetric approach for CRP analysis. In this method, an aptamer specifically binds with CRP and an initiator sequence is released from an arch probe to activate signal amplification. The released initiator sequence hybridizes with the toehold section in the 'jellyfish' probe to form a blunt terminus to induce exonuclease III-assisted signal ...
