The present invention generally relates to methods for selecting aptamers. More specifically, the invention provides methods for the selection of at least one aptamer for use in combination with another epitope binding agent such as another aptamer, an antibody, or a double stranded nucleic acid. The invention also encompasses methods for simultaneously selecting at least two aptamers that each recognize distinct epitopes on a target molecule.
