DNA aptamer specifically binding to CFP10, and use thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to: a DNA aptamer specifically binding to culture filtrate 10 kDa (CFP10); a biosensor for diagnosing tuberculosis, comprising the same: and an information providing method for diagnosing tuberculosis. The present applicants have ascertained that the DNA aptamer, according to the present invention, has the ability to specifically bind to a CFP10 protein and that the binding strength thereof is strong. When the DNA aptamer of the present invention is used, excellent stability superior to that of ELISA methods using existing antibodies can be expected, and thus it is expected that the aptamer can be effectively used in the development of a composition for diagnosing tuberculosis, a biosensor for diagnosing tuberculosis, an information providing method for diagnosing tuberculosis, and the like.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
