Transcript
This protocol describes how to select DNA aptamers that can distinguish infectious viruses versus non-infectious viruses in order to obtain sensing molecule able to inform the infectability of clinical or environmental samples. This technique can

We provide a protocol that can be generally applied to select aptamers that bind to infectious viruses only and not to viruses that have been rendered non-infectious by a disinfection method or to any other similar viruses. This opens the possibility of determining infectivity status in portable and rapid tests.
