    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions comprising coordinated sets of unique DNA barcodes and methods for using the same for multiplex detection and measurement of multiple target molecules in multiple samples using a single next-generation sequencing reaction. In particular, methods are provided in which unique DNA barcodes linked to affinity reagents are contacted to a sample to bind antigens if present in said sample, and then a PCR-based amplification reaction adds barcoded index sequences that contain universal sequencing adaptors as well as unique barcode sequences and amplifies affinity reagent-bound targets for DNA sequencing.

  • Patent number: 11739314
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for multiplexed protein-protein interaction profiling (e.g., immunoprofiling), based on nucleic acid tagging of polypeptides (e.g., by RNA display) are described. In some embodiments the described compositions and methods utilize a library of prey polypeptide targets linked to prey RNAs encoding them, and a population of bait polypeptides, e.g., a mixture of antibodies, that bind to one or more of the prey polypeptide targets and are used to isolate and identify the bound prey polypeptide targets by amplification of their associated prey RNAs and sequencing of the corresponding cDNAs. In other embodiments the prey polypeptide targets are linked to DNA Bar Codes, which serve as unique identifiers of the tagged polypeptide.

  • Publication number: 20230220494
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for characterization of normal flora and identifying biomarkers in the gut of healthy, neurotypical subjects. Aspect of the disclosure provide for the characterization of the gut microbiome in ADS subjects, characterized by reduced richness and significant loss of the ‘Prevotella-like enterotype’ compared to neurotypical subjects. The relative abundance of genera Prevotella, Coprococcus, Prevotellaceae and Veillonellaceae are significantly lower in autistic children than in neurotypical children. Further, Prevotella, is one of the three main classifiers for the human enterotypes, along with Bacteroides and Ruminococcus. These three core genera are among main contributors in the principle component analysis. ‘Prevotella-like enterotype’ was absent in the autistic group, while neurotypical samples showed an even distribution among the three enterotypes.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method that combines high throughput and flexible nature of a cell-free protein microarray with the quantitative capability of surface plasmon resonance to detect >400 different protein interactions in <1 hour. A method of detecting interactions between a targeting agent and one or more proteins of interest is disclosed. The method includes producing a set of proteins of interest using a cell-free protein expression system; providing the set of proteins of interest on a protein microarray wherein each spot in the array comprises a protein of interest; contacting the protein microarray with a targeting agent that binds to one or more of the set of proteins of interest; and detecting the binding of the targeting agent to the set of proteins of interest using surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi), thereby detecting the targeting agent and one or more proteins of interest in the micro array.
