We produced a novel cationic-charged modified DNA aptamer for sialyllactose that is a ubiquitous component of the cell surface responsible for the infection of several viruses by using the magnetic-particle-based SELEX method. After 13 rounds of selection we selected 22 clones as sialyllactose-binding DNA aptamers composed of several modified thymidines. The DNA aptamers could form a three-way junction structure that likely forms a binding site for siallyllactose. The three-way junction structure contains several modified thymidines bearing a positively-charged amino group at the C5 position, which could enhance the binding ability for silalyllactose which has a negatively-charged carboxyl group. The dissociation constant of the aptamer that showed the strongest sialyllactose-binding ability among the clones of the aptamers was 4.9 microM.
