Pathogen receptor discovery with a microfluidic human membrane protein array.
The discovery of how a pathogen invades a cell requires one to determine which host cell receptors are exploited. This determination is a challenging problem because the receptor is invariably a membrane protein, which represents an Achilles heel in proteomics. We have developed a universal platform for high-throughput expression and interaction studies of membrane proteins by creating a microf...
متن کاملPathogen Discovery
Discovery—literally, the act of uncovering—implies a new and fundamental observation that changes the way in which we view and respond to the world (Image 1). Eureka (‘‘I have found it’’) moments are rare in science. Given the physiques of many scientists, this may be a good thing. Legend has it that when Archimedes discovered while bathing that the volume of an object could be calculated by fi...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Selex with One-dimensional Microbead Array
Aptamer is a protein-binding oligonucleotide which can be in vitro selected by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), and it has the advantages of high affinity, low immunogenicity and easy synthesis as a promising class of antibody surrogates. The microfluidic SELEX performs an improved multiplex platform which can run a number of aptamer selection in parallel and s...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Systems for Pathogen Sensing: A Review
Rapid pathogen sensing remains a pressing issue today since conventional identification methodsare tedious, cost intensive and time consuming, typically requiring from 48 to 72 h. In turn, chip based technologies, such as microarrays and microfluidic biochips, offer real alternatives capable of filling this technological gap. In particular microfluidic biochips make the development of fast, sen...
متن کاملA microfluidic cell array with individually addressable culture chambers.
Microfluidic arrays of living cells have raised a lot of interests recently due to their potential for high throughput screening of cell-based assays. This report presents a microfluidic cell array with individually addressable chambers controlled by pneumatic valves for cell culture and treatment. There are two modes for the cell array to be operated. In the first mode, different groups of cel...
