چکیده
BACKGROUND An ovarian cancer marker panel including leptin, prolactin, osteopontin, insulin-like growth factor II (IGFII), macrophage migration inhibitory factor and CA125 was tested for multiplex marker measurement. Multiplex was compared to single assayed tumour markers: CA125, TPS, thymidine kinase, monototal and HE4. PATIENTS AND METHODS The serum marker levels in ovarian cancer patients were compared to controls with benign ovarian disease. xMAP technology was used for multiplex panel and routine immunoanalytic methods for other markers. RESULTS Considering the multiplexed markers, only CA125(Luminex), osteopontin and IGF-II differed significantly between groups. Levels of all non-multiplexed tumour markers were significantly higher in the cancer group compare to the control. CONCLUSION Multiplex is a powerful tool for multiparametric studies, but we are still in the era of looking for the right marker combinations for cancer diagnostics and monitoring. The panel will be tested on a larger ovarian cancer cohort and in patients with other cancer and non-cancerous diseases.

Development and validation of a multiplex add-on assay for sepsis biomarkers using xMAP technology.
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a common and often fatal disease. Because sepsis can be caused by many different organisms, biomarkers that can aid in diagnosing sepsis and monitoring treatment efficacy are highly warranted. New sepsis markers may provide additional information to complement the currently used markers. METHODS We used a combination of in-house and commercially available multiplex immuno...

A novel suspension multiplex immunoassay for the simultaneous specific detection of lung cancer markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) clinical samples based on fluorescent microspheres having different size and spectrally encoded with quantum dots (QDEM) was developed. The designed suspension immunoassay was validated for the quantitative detection of three lung cancer markers in BALF ...
متن کاملImpact of Aerosol Dust on xMAP Multiplex Detection of Different Class Pathogens
Environmental or city-scale bioaerosol surveillance can provide additional value for biodefense and public health. Efficient bioaerosol monitoring should rely on multiplex systems capable of detecting a wide range of biologically hazardous components potentially present in air (bacteria, viruses, toxins and allergens). xMAP technology from LuminexTM allows multiplex bead-based detection of anti...
