Aptamers as the Agent in Decontamination Assays (Apta-Decontamination Assays): From the Environment to the Potential Application In Vivo

Figure 3

Schematic diagram of apta-decontamination of bacteria. Three aptamers specific against three different bacterial surface proteins were immobilized on surface of TiO₂ to specifically capture . coli, which is then deactivated under UV irradiation [56].
