Background The interrogation of proteomes ("proteomics") in a highly multiplexed and efficient manner remains coveted challenging goal biology medicine. Methodology/Principal Findings We present new aptamer-based proteomic technology for biomarker discovery capable simultaneously measuring thousands proteins from small sample volumes (15 µL serum or plasma). Our current assay measures 813 with low limits detection (1 pM median), 7 logs overall dynamic range (∼100 fM–1 µM), 5% median...

Abstract Interrogation of the human proteome in a highly multiplexed and efficient manner remains coveted challenging goal biology. We present new aptamer-based proteomic technology for biomarker discovery capable simultaneously measuring thousands proteins from small sample volumes (15 [mu]L serum or plasma). Our current assay allows us to measure ~800 with very low limits detection (1 pM average), 7 logs overall dynamic range, 5% average coefficient variation. This is enabled by generation...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. New diagnostics are needed to detect early stage lung because it may be cured with surgery. However, most cases diagnosed too late for curative Here we present a comprehensive clinical biomarker study and first large-scale application new aptamer-based proteomic technology discover blood protein biomarkers in disease.We conducted multi-center case-control archived serum samples from 1,326 subjects four independent studies non-small cell...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two secreted phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes. The expression of both PLCs is regulated by Pi. One the hemolytic, and one nonhemolytic. Low-stringency hybridization studies suggested that genes encoding these shared DNA homology. This information was used to clone plcN, gene 77-kilodalton nonhemolytic PLC, PLC-N. A fragment plcN mutate chromosomal copy generation a interruption mutation. mutant 55% less total PLC activity than wild type, confirming successful...

Background Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive, asbestos-related pulmonary cancer that increasing in incidence. Because diagnosis difficult and the disease relatively rare, most patients present at a clinically advanced stage where possibility of cure minimal. To improve surveillance detection MM high-risk population, we completed series clinical studies to develop noninvasive test for early detection. Methodology/Principal Findings We conducted multi-center case-control...

Abstract Understanding the genetic architecture of host proteins interacting with SARS-CoV-2 or mediating maladaptive response to COVID-19 can help identify new repurpose existing drugs targeting those proteins. We present a discovery study 179 such among 10,708 individuals using an aptamer-based technique. 220 DNA sequence variants acting in cis (MAF 0.01-49.9%) and explaining 0.3-70.9% variance 97 these proteins, including 45 no previously known protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) 38...

Abstract Multiplexed photoaptamer‐based arrays that allow for the simultaneous measurement of multiple proteins interest in serum samples are described. Since photoaptamers covalently bind to their target analytes before fluorescent signal detection, can be vigorously washed remove background proteins, providing potential superior signal‐to‐noise ratios and lower limits quantification biological matrices. Data presented here a 17‐plex photoaptamer array exhibiting detection below 10 fM...

The phospholipase C (PLC) operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa consists plcS, which encodes a heat-labile secreted hemolysin, and two in-phase, overlapping genes, plcR1 plcR2, may encode Pi-regulatory genes. A 2.8-kilobase-pair deletion mutation in this was constructed, tetracycline resistance (Tcr) cartridge replaced the deleted sequences. mutant strain PAO1 obtained through recombination between flanking regions mutated cloned PLC homologous chromosomal regions. its replacement by Tcr...

Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer-related mortality. We applied a highly multiplexed proteomic technology (SOMAscan) to compare protein expression signatures non small-cell lung (NSCLC) tissues with healthy adjacent and distant from surgical resections. In this first report SOMAscan tissues, we highlight 36 proteins that exhibit largest differences between matched tumor non-tumor tissues. The concentrations twenty increased sixteen decreased in tissue, thirteen which are...

ABSTRACT New non-sputum biomarker tests for active tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics are of the highest priority global TB control. We performed in-depth proteomic analysis using 4,000-plex SOMAscan assay on 1,470 serum samples from seven countries where is endemic. All were patients with symptoms and signs suggestive pulmonary that systematically confirmed or ruled out by culture clinical follow-up. HIV coinfection was present in 34% samples, 25% sputum smear negative. Serum protein biomarkers...

CT screening for lung cancer is effective in reducing mortality, but there are areas of concern, including a positive predictive value 4% and development interval cancers. A blood test that could manage these limitations would be useful, such tests has been impaired by variations collection may lead to poor reproducibility across populations.Blood-based proteomic profiles were generated with SOMAscan technology, which measured 1033 proteins. First, preanalytic variability was evaluated...
