Article Synopsis
- * The study found that different groups of nematomorphs targeted specific arthropod hosts, leading to a seasonal supply of prey for salmonids: ground beetles in spring and orthopterans in autumn.
- * The findings suggest that a variety of host-parasite relationships can affect energy transfer across ecosystems, indicating that such dynamics may be prevalent in nature.
A single-round DNA aptamer selection for mammalian cells was successfully achieved for the first time using a capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based methodology called polymer-enhanced capillary transient isotachophoresis (PectI). The PectI separation yielded a single peak for the human lung cancer cell line (PC-9) complexed with DNA aptamer candidates, which was effectively separated from a free randomized DNA library peak, ensuring no contamination from free DNA in the PC-9-DNA aptamer complex fraction. The DNA aptamer candidates obtained after a single-round selection employing counter selection with HL-60 were proven to bind selectively and form kinetically stable complexes with PC-9 cells.
