From SOMAmer-Based Biomarker Discovery to Diagnostic and Clinical Applications: A SOMAmer-Based, Streamlined Multiplex Proteomic Assay
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, we reported a SOMAmer-based, highly multiplexed assay for the purpose of biomarker identification. To enable seamless transition from highly multiplexed biomarker discovery assays to a format suitable and convenient for diagnostic and life-science applications, we developed a streamlined, plate-based version of the assay. The plate-based version of the assay is robust, sensitive (sub-picomolar), rapid, can be highly multiplexed (upwards of 60 analytes), and fully automated. We demonstrate that quantification by microarray-based hybridization, Luminex bead-based methods, and qPCR are each compatible with our platform, further expanding the breadth of proteomic applications for a wide user community.

Characterization of SOMAmer® Reagents Binding Specificity in the SOMAscan® 1.3k Assay
“Slow Off-Rate Modified Aptamer” (SOMAmer) reagents are identified via the SELEX process against epitopes on a single target protein in buffer. However, many proteins share structural and/or functional properties, and thus could be bound by a SOMAmer reagent originally selected against another protein. In order to test the specificity of each SOMAmer reagent used in the SOMAscan 1.3k assay for ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Cetuximab and Panitumumab-Unbound Serum EGFR Extracellular Domain Using an Assay Based on Slow Off-Rate Modified Aptamer (SOMAmer) Reagents
BACKGROUND Response to cetuximab (Erbitux®) and panitumumab (Vectibix®) varies among individuals, and even those who show response ultimately gain drug resistance. One possible etiologic factor is differential interaction between the drug and target. We describe the development of an assay based on Slow Off-rate Modified Aptamer (SOMAmer(™)) reagents that can distinguish drug-bound from unbound...
متن کاملRapid Slow Off-Rate Modified Aptamer (SOMAmer)-Based Detection of C-Reactive Protein Using Isotachophoresis and an Ionic Spacer.
We present an on-chip electrophoretic assay for rapid protein detection with a SOMAmer (Slow Off-Rate Modified Aptamer) reagent. We used isotachophoresis (ITP) coupled with an ionic spacer to both react and separate SOMAmer-protein complex from free SOMAmer reagent. ITP accelerates the reaction kinetics as the ionic spacer concurrently separates the reaction products. We developed a numerical a...

Disrupted or abnormal biological processes responsible for cancers often quantitatively manifest as disrupted additive and multiplicative interactions of gene/protein expressions correlating with cancer progression. However, the examination of all possible combinatorial interactions between gene features in most case-control studies with limited training data is computationally infeasible. In t...
متن کاملImmune Monitoring Technology Primer: protein microarray (‘seromics’)
Description of the technology Protein microarrays are used to identify targets of drugs, small molecules, and enzyme substrates that may be modified in numerous ways such as by phosphorylation or methylation, to detect protein binding properties, investigate protein-protein interactions, and to define protein-based biomarkers in a high-throughput manner. They are based on the development of DNA...
