Publication number: 20130267442Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for developing diagnostic tests (e.g., detection, screening, monitoring, and prognostic tests) based on biomarker information from legacy clinical sample sets, for which only small sample volumes (e.g., about 0.05 to about 1.0 mL or less per sample) are typically available. For example, biomarkers (e.g., about 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, or more) may be detected in the clinical samples through the use of single molecule detection and each biomarker may be detected in an assay that includes about 1 ?L or less of a legacy clinical sample.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: TETHYS BIOSCIENCE, INC.Inventors: Michael S.

Publication number: 20120309030Abstract: A method of determining risk of diabetes is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises: a) measuring the levels of a plurality of biomarkers in a blood samples obtained from a patient, wherein the plurality of biomarkers comprises at least five of the following biomarkers: glucose, adiponectin, CRP, IL2RA, ferritin, insulin and HbAIc; b) calculating a diabetes risk score for the patients using the levels and, optionally, patient age and/or gender. Results obtained from performing the assay on a reference population are similar or identical to those obtained using Formula I.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2010Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: TETHYS BIOSCIENCE, INC.Inventors: Michael P.

Patent number: 8097425Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for multiplex fractionation of proteins in a sample. Protein-binding molecules, such as small epitope antibodies or small epitope aptamers, are used for multiplex fractionation of proteins in a protein containing sample. Detection of fractionated proteins may be used for characterization of proteins in a sample in applications such as expression profiling, identification and/or quantification of proteins in a sample, and identification or detection of biomarkers.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2007Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Tethys Bioscience, Inc.Inventors: Michael S.
