Light-up aptamers are aptamers that trigger fluorescence emission of specific dyes upon binding, widely used in in vivo imaging and in vitro diagnostic assay development. This study aims to provide an overview of various diagnostic assay formats developed using light-up aptamers, offering insights for researchers interested in developing one-pot in vitro diagnostic assays based on light-up aptamers.
Light-up aptamers are aptamers that ignite the fluorescence emission of certain dyes upon binding. Widely harnessed in in vivo imaging, the binding capacity of the light-up aptamers can also be deployed in in vitro diagnostic assays, engendering a mix-and-read format. Intrigued by this, I intend to provide an overview of the various formats of diagnostic assays developed using light-up aptamers from the direct modulation of the light-up aptamers, split aptamer-based configuration, strand displacement, in vitro transcription-based one-pot diagnostic assay, CRISPR-Cas system to the measurement of the ion reliance. The incorporation of the light-up aptamers into each configuration is expounded and further supported by describing the exemplary assays developed thus far. It is anticipated that the present study can be enlightening to any researchers who aspire to embark on the development of one-pot in vitro diagnostic assays based on light-up aptamers.
