[h=3]Abstract[/h] Rapid subtyping of influenza viruses in clinical laboratories has been increasingly important because three subtypes (seasonal H1N1, H3N2, and 2009 H1N1) of influenza A virus currently disseminated in humans have variable susceptibilities to antiviral drug. Herein, we present DNA aptamers for selective detection of influenza A H1N1 (seasonal and 2009 pandemic H1N1) viruses by targeting recombinant influenza A mini-hemagglutinin (mini-HA) protein (the stable stem region of HA) and whole H1N1 viruses. The dissociation constants (K[SUB]D[/SUB]) of aptamer candidates V46 and V57 were 19.2 nM and 29.6 nM, respectively, according to electrochemical characterization (differential pulse voltammetry), demonstrating strong binding to mini-HA. In comparison, the K[SUB]D[/SUB] of the influenza virus antibodies is in the range of 1 μM-10 nM. Aptamer V46 showed higher specificity and binding affinity to the mini-HA protein and H1N1 subtypes, and it was also incorporated into an indium tin oxide-based electrochemical sensor, showing sensitive and specific detection of H1N1 viruses, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.7 plaque-forming units per mL. The binding affinity, specificity, and LOD achieved with the electrochemical sensor suggest that it can be used for rapid subtyping of H1N1. We also propose that this aptamer can be used for the neutralization of H1N1 subtypes, suggesting potential therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
