2. 1. On the application and validation of multiplexed affinity assays

   Author : Tea Dodig-Crnković; Jochen M. Schwenk; Mun-Gwan Hong; Peter Nilsson; Norman Leigh Anderson; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Affinity proteomics; Antibody; Autoantibody; Multiplexed assays; Protein microarray; Plasma proteins; Suspension bead array; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Abstract : Proteins are essential macromolecules that carry out complex functions in human cells, tissues, and organs. They regulate a diverse set of biological processes and protect against pathogens. However, dysregulation or malformation of proteins can cause disease. READ MORE

4. 2. Solid-phase Proximity Ligation Assays : High-performance and multiplex protein analyses

   Author : Spyros Darmanis; Masood Kamali-Moghaddam; Ulf Landegren; Mathias Uhlen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proximity ligation assay; multiplexed; biomarkers; solid-phase; microparticles; cancer; sequencing; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

   Abstract : Protein biomarkers circulating in blood hold the promise of improved diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of treatment of disease via minimally invasive procedures. For the discovery and validation of such biomarkers, methods are needed that can facilitate parallel, highly specific and in-depth analysis of the blood proteome. READ MORE

5. 3. Novel methods for improving rapid paper-based protein assays with gold nanoparticle detection

   Author : Lara Lama; Helene Andersson Svahn; Jesper Gantelius; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gold nanoparticles; ultrasound energy; signal enhancement; diagnostics; microarrays; paper-based assays; COMSOL Multiphysics simulations; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Abstract : This thesis describes methods for improving sensitivity in rapid singleplex and multiplex microarray assays. The assays utilize the optical characteristics of colloidal gold nanoparticles for the colorimetric detection of proteins.Multiplexed detection in sandwich immunoassays is limited by cross-reactivity between different detection antibodies.
