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

Figure 4

Illustration of apta-decontamination using liposome containing aptamer. Liposomes that contain the aptamer binding buffer also comprise aptamers that are specific against 17β-estradiol (E2), bisphenol A, and oxytetracycline. These aptamers bind the contaminants (17β-estradiol (E2), bisphenol A, and oxytetracycline) and remove them from the contaminated water source [59].
