Predicted secondary structures of cloned aptamers. Some of the aptamers obtained against TH1N1 and TH3N2 were analyzed with Mfold, a secondary structure-computing program. (a1a4) For the aptamers selected against TH1N1 (namely, Apt01 > TH1N1, Apt02 > TH1N1, Apt03 > TH1N1, Apt04 > TH1N1). (b1,b2) For the aptamers Apt01 > TH3N2 and Apto2 > TH3N2. Commonly appearing sequences in loop regions are highlighted for the aptamers against TH1N1 (incidentally, no such sequences were found in the aptamers obtained against TH3N2). Note that the sequence regions of 1–20 and 51–70 over the entire sequence (70 nucleotides) are primer-binding sites, and they are constant.
