Human cyclophilin B (CypB) is oversecreted by pancreatic cancer cells, making it a potential biomarker for early-stage disease diagnosis. Our group is motivated to develop aptamer-based assays to measure CypB levels in biofluids. However, human cyclophilins have been postulated to have collateral nuclease activity, which could impede the use of aptamers for CypB detection. To establish if CypB can hydrolyze electrode-bound nucleic acids, we used ultrasensitive electrochemical sensors to measure ...[more]
