High affinity oligonucleotide ligands to growth factors
First Claim
1. A purified and isolated non-naturally occurring modified single-stranded ribonucleic acid ligand to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) wherein said modified ligand is substantially homologous to and has substantially the same ability to bind PDGF as a modified ligand selected from the group consisting of the sequences set forth in Table 13 (SEQ ID NOS:
- 128-170).

Abstract
Methods are described for the identification and preparation of high-affinity nucleic acid ligands to TGFβ, PDGF and hKGF. Included in the invention are specific RNA and ssDNA ligands to TGFβ1 and PDGF identified by the SELEX method. Also included in the invention are specific RNA ligands to hKGF identified by the SELEX method. Further included are RNA ligands that inhibit the interaction of TGFβ1 and hKGF with their receptors and DNA ligands that inhibit the interaction of PDGF with its receptor.
