Abstract: Disclosed is a method of functional genomics determination including transducing a cell population with a set of nucleic acid molecules including a pooled library of genomic perturbagens to integrate multiple perturbagen cassettes into the genome. A phenotype of individual cells is determined and single cells of the population with targeted phenotypes are individually sorted into a set of compartments. Each compartment includes a forward primer with a nucleic acid sequence (NAS) that specifically binds a common nucleic acid sequence on the nucleic acid molecules and a compartment (cell)-specific nucleic acid barcode. Also included is a reverse primer with a NAS that specifically binds a common NAS on the nucleic acid molecules comprising a pooled library of genomic perturbagens. The genome-integrated perturbagen cassettes are create amplicons which are pooled and sequences determined.

Abstract: Provided herein are affinity reagents having affinity for particular target, each reagent having a unique DNA barcode, and methods for using the same to measure the abundance of targets in a sample. In particular, methods are provided in which unique barcodes linked to affinity reagents are contacted to a sample to bind antigens if present in said sample. In cases in which the affinity reagents are antibodies and the targets are antigens, antibodies that are bound to their target antigens can be separated from unbound antibodies and the DNA barcode associated with the affinity reagent is amplified, such as with a PCR reaction. In some cases, amplified barcode DNA is subjected to DNA sequencing as a measure of the levels of the target protein in the sample.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for detection of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Patient samples known or suspected of containing ACPAs were probed against citrullinated proteins, and antibody responses to 190 citrullinated proteins in 20 RA patients were investigated. Unique antibody reactivity patterns in both clinical anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide assay positive (CCP+) and negative (CCP?) RA patients were observed. At individual antigen levels, six novel antibody/antigen complexes were discovered and validated against specific citrullinated antigens (Myelin Basic Protein (MBP), osteopontin (SPP1), flap endonuclease (FEN1), insulin like growth factor binding protein 6 (IGFBP6), insulin like growth factor I (IGF1) and stanniocalcin-2 (STC2)) in RA patients. Identification of immune-dominant epitope(s) for citrullinated MBP was also performed. The identified biomarkers have high specificity, especially MBP.

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.
