Aptamer selection for a Trichomonas vaginalis adhesion protein 65 for diagnostic applications

Trichomoniasis is the leading non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. The goal of this work is to explore the potential of aptamers as the molecular recognition element in the development of diagnostic techniques for the detection of T. vaginalis infection. This work includes the selection...
