Molecular studies have shown that this aptamer binds to the cell surface protein nucleolin and inhibits the activity of NF-KB, a ubiquitous transcription factor, through intracellular complex formation [108] . In a different approach, SELEX has been performed with the E2F1 protein to find in vitro selected RNA aptamers that bind to and inhibit E2F activity. Astier-Gi's group described the characterization of two DNA aptamers (27v and 127v) that specifically bind to hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA polymerase (NS5B), inhibiting its activity in vitro [146] .
