Ultrasensitive flow-based immunoassays using single-molecule counting.
BACKGROUND Immunoassay (IA) technology has expanded the clinical utility of protein biomarkers, but demands for increased sensitivity, dynamic reporting ranges, and small sample volumes have limited the potential clinical usefulness of many biomarkers. We assessed the performance, including limits of detection (LODs) and the dynamic reporting range, of an IA-based technology, Erenna Immunoassay...
متن کاملModel-independent counting of molecules in single-molecule localization microscopy
Most biomolecular processes rely on tightly controlled stoichiometries, from the formation of molecular assemblies to cellular signaling. Single-molecule localization micro-scopy studies of fluorophore blinking offer a promising route to probe oligomeric states. Here we show that the distribution of the number of blinking events assumes a universal functional form, independent of photophysics, ...
متن کاملAMPA receptor/TARP stoichiometry visualized by single-molecule subunit counting.
Members of the transmembrane AMPA receptor-regulatory protein (TARP) family modulate AMPA receptor (AMPA-R) trafficking and function. AMPA-Rs consist of four pore-forming subunits. Previous studies show that TARPs are an integral part of the AMPA-R complex, acting as accessory subunits for mature receptors in vivo. The TARP/AMPA-R stoichiometry was previously measured indirectly and found to be...
متن کاملNon-invasive prenatal diagnosis by single molecule counting technologies.
Non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and monogenic diseases by analysing fetal DNA present in maternal plasma poses a challenging goal. In particular, the presence of background maternal DNA interferes with the analysis of fetal DNA. Using single molecule counting methods, including digital PCR and massively parallel sequencing, many of the former problems have been...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Counting of Point Mutations by Transient DNA Binding
High-confidence detection of point mutations is important for disease diagnosis and clinical practice. Hybridization probes are extensively used, but are hindered by their poor single-nucleotide selectivity. Shortening the length of DNA hybridization probes weakens the stability of the probe-target duplex, leading to transient binding between complementary sequences. The kinetics of probe-targe...
