Abstract

DNA aptamers (PSA-H and MT32) were applied for the detection of Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) isolates using an Enzyme-Linked Oligonucleotide Assay (ELONA) and Western blot analysis. The specificity and effectiveness of aptamers were verified in comparison to a conventional Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). A genetically diverse group of ASPV isolates was tested. The results showed that aptamer MT32 detected a wider range of ASPV isolates than an aptamer PSA-H and proved to be superior to commercially available monoclonal antibodies. Aptamer MT32 produced higher signal intensity in ELONA with a virus-infected plant extracts than antibodies in ELISA. Moreover, the ELISA method failed to detect ASPV in... More
