7. New Assay to detect thrombin Magnetic streptavidin beads thrombin adaptamer Wash Anti-thrombin 1 o antibody Shake Secondary antibody Infrared imager Li-Cor Shake Wash Plate

8. Success! Adaptamer = A15 Control: no thrombin Primary and secondary antibodies added together Control: beads lack streptavidin 2X thrombin General setup: Streptavidin beads + A35 + thrombin

9. Quantitative results

10. Western Blot thrombin adaptamer WashShake Agarose streptavidin beads Elute with free streptavidin SDS-PAGE Blot, apply antibodies Infrared imager Li-Cor Invitrogen

11. Conditions General setup: Streptavidin agarose beads + A20 + thrombin Other conditions: A50 instead of A20, double the amount of A20, thrombin Controls: No adaptamer added; thrombin agarose beads instead of streptavidin beads
