Publication number: 20250230487Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and assay systems for use in spatially encoded biological assays, including assays to determine a spatial pattern of abundance, expression, and/or activity of one or more biological targets across multiple sites in a sample. In particular, the biological targets comprise proteins, and the methods and assay systems do not depend on imaging techniques for the spatial information of the targets. The present disclosure provides methods and assay systems capable of high levels of multiplexing where reagents are provided to a biological sample in order to address tag the sites to which reagents are delivered; instrumentation capable of controlled delivery of reagents; and a decoding scheme providing a readout that is digital in nature.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Applicant: Prognosys Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: Mark S. Chee, David A. Routenberg

Patent number: 12292446Abstract: Kits and methods of using the kits for analyzing macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, employing nucleic acid encoding are disclosed. The sample analysis kits employ nucleic acid encoding and/or nucleic acid recording of a molecular interaction and/or reaction, such as recognition events (e.g., between an antigen and an antibody, between a modified terminal amino acid residue, or between a small molecule or peptide therapeutic and a target, etc.). Additional barcoding reagents, such as those for cycle-specific barcoding (e.g., “clocking”), compartment barcoding, combinatorial barcoding, spatial barcoding, or any combination thereof, may be included in the kits. The sample may comprise macromolecules, including peptides, polypeptides, and proteins, and the recording may generate molecular interaction and/or reaction information, and/or polypeptide sequence information.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2024Date of Patent: May 6, 2025Assignee: ENCODIA, INC.Inventors: Mark S. Chee, John M. Beierle, Norihito Muranaka, Kevin L. Gunderson, Michael Phillip Weiner, Lei Shi, Robert C. James, Luca Monfregola

Publication number: 20250101496Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for high throughput analysis of analytes such as polypeptides in a cyclic manner (e.g., using NGPA or NGPS described herein) that allow adjustment of the dynamic range and sensitivity of analyte detection, for instance, based on the abundances of different polypeptides present in a sample to be analyzed. The approaches proposed herein can be used to adjust the dynamic range of abundant analytes (e.g., polypeptides present in high concentrations) in biological samples, such as plasma samples, and to increase proteome coverage achieved by high throughput protein analysis methods, for instance, by improving the sensitivity of detecting less abundant analytes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2022Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Devin SULLIVAN, Norihito MURANAKA, Mark S.
