However, successful multiplexed capability of these techniques is heavily dependent on the stability of the metal-chelates used. Chelate stability is governed by the ionic radius of the metal used, which in some cases can fall below or exceed the optimal range for commercially available DTPA-based polymers. In this study, we have developed and optimized macrocyclic chelators for metals with relatively small (i.e., Ga) or large (i.e., Tl) atomic radii. In agreement with previously published studies, we observed NOTA to be a suitable chelator for Ga, whereas DOTA was found to be an ideal chelator for Tl and larger lanthanides, such as La, Ce, and Pr. DOTA and DTPA chelator dendrimers were synthesized and conjugated to primary antibodies that were subsequently used for tissue staining. Antibodies conjugated with the DOTA-dendrimer were more stable and exhibited more specific staining than those modified with the corresponding DTPA-dendrimer. With these new chelates, we incorporated seven new reporter channels into a highly multiplexed MIBI-TOF imaging study containing 44 protein epitope markers on various tissues.

Therefore, a new method was designed to rapidly obtain high-affinity aptamers from an early screening library. Target-binding aptamers were isolated from early library based on the function of T5 exonuclease (Exo), which could digest nonaffinity aptamers and retain the complete sequence of affinity aptamers. Meanwhile, enzymatic electrophoresis, label-free dye displacement assay, q-PCR, and isothermal titration calorimetry were used to characterize aptamer affinity. The ninth ssDNA library (9R) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) was digested by T5 Exo, and high-throughput sequencing was performed on the digested library (E-9R). 20 sequences with the highest multiplicity were selected for characterization. The results showed that there were 8 affinity aptamers in the general screening library and 15 in the digested library, which were always more than in the general screening library when the target concentration decreased. Subsequently, the aptamers from enzymatic-electrophoresis experiments were characterized by the label-free dye displacement assay and q-PCR to distinguish the binding strength to 5-HMF. It was found that 9R-e1 from E-9R exhibited the best binding affinity, with the <i>K</i><sub>d</sub> value of 8.8 μM. The same enzymatic conditions were used for the patulin (PAT) screening library to verify this method’s universal applicability. Similarly, affinity aptamers were always more abundant in the enzymatic library, and an aptamer with a <i>K</i><sub>d</sub> value of 6.40 μM was found in PAT-E6R.
