DNA aptamer specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I
Disclosed are a DNA aptamer specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I, and a composition and a diagnostic kit for the diagnosis of acute cardiovascular diseases, comprising the same. Being superior in specificity and stability to antibodies which are conventionally used to diagnose acute cardiovascular diseases, the DNA aptamers specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I can be developed into biosensors which determine human cardiac troponin I levels with high sensitivity and accuracy, greatly contributing to the diagnosis in an early stage of acute cardiovascular diseases. It is expected to lots of help for increase of diagnostic accuracy.
1. A DNA aptamer specifically binding to human cardiac troponin I, wherein the DNA aptamer has a base sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 6.
2. A composition for diagnosis of an acute cardiovascular disease, comprising the DNA aptamer of claim 1 .
3. A diagnostic kit for an acute cardiovascular disease, comprising the DNA aptamer of claim 1 .
