Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 mutates rapidly as evidenced by the emergence of Omicron which causes changes in the recognition epitopes of most current neutralizing antibodies and immune evasion. Although aptamers are potential neutralizing agents for SARS-CoV-2 due to their unique molecular properties, it is difficult to compare their performances as assay conditions vary greatly, and their activity levels against variants remain unknown. Here, we evaluated the performances of 14 SARS-CoV-2 aptamers and provided a comprehensive analysis them, which we expect will improve the development of aptamer tools for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics and therapeutics.
