  1. Median fluorescence of each aptamer relative to non-specific control, C36, was compared to the median fluorescence of a commercially available antibody against the same receptor relative to an isotype control using a Spearman Correlation with a two tailed P value. This was performed for all aptamers using our three different assay conditions: binding, Internalization, and binding with blocking (blocked), and internalization and binding without blocking (unblocked). Significant correlation was defined for P < 0.05 and are represented in bold.
  2. ρ Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
