Oligonucleotide Aptamers as Specific Targeting Devices in Diagnostics and Therapy

  • Conference paper

  • 51 Accesses

Part of the book series: Ernst Schering Research Foundation Workshop ((SCHERING FOUND,volume 22))

Abstract

Precise targeting of pathogenic tissues is of extraordinary importance in medical diagnosis and therapy. The generation of monoclonal antibodies and the technical development in the use of these specific molecules has created high expectations in these fields. The large size as well as the antigenic potential are major limitations of the antibody technology.
