The subtypes of hematological malignancies (HM) with minimal molecular profile differences display an extremely heterogeneous clinical course and a discrepant response to certain treatment regimens. Profiling the surface protein markers offers a potent solution for precision diagnosis of HM by differentiating among the subtypes of cancer cells. Herein, we report the use of Cell-SELEX technology to generate a panel of high-affinity aptamer probes that are able to discriminate subtle differences among surface protein profiles between different HM cells. Experimental results show that these aptamers with apparent dissociation constants ( K d ) below 10 nM display a unique recognition pattern on different HM subtypes. By combining a machine learning model on the basis of partial least-squares discriminant analysis, 100% accuracy was achieved for the classification of different HM cells. Furthermore, we preliminarily validated the effectiveness of the aptamer-based multiparameter analysis strategy from a clinical perspective by accurately classifying complex clinical samples, thus providing a promising molecular tool for precise HM phenotyping.
