22 Substance Identification Methods Using Pooling US13664370 2012-10-30 US20140121119A1 2014-05-01 Keith E. Stormo; QuanZhou Tao; Robert H. Bogden; Evan K. Hart
A substance identification method includes combining substances into four or more intermediate subpools in wells of a subpool plate and repooling the intermediate subpools into a number of final screening pools based on a repooling design providing the subpooled substances in at least three different final screening pools. The repooling design determines coordinates locating well positions for the substances. Another substance identification method includes using a two-dimensional array of wells arranged in rows and a number of columns that is at least 1.5 times the rows. Substances in the wells are combined into a number of screening pools. Individual screening pools include substances from wells having a row identifier in common with one other well. A pooling design provides the pooled substances in two different screening pools. The pooling design determines coordinates locating well positions for the substances.
23 Microarray System and a Process for Producing Microarrays US14059164 2013-10-21 US20140045721A1 2014-02-13 Dieter Trau; Wen-Tso Liu; Kian Kok Johnson NG
A process for making a micro-array. The process comprises the step of depositing a population of microbeads on a substrate having at least one fiducial. The population being comprised of at least two sub-populations, preferably multiple sub-populations, each comprising a known active agent capable of specific binding with at least one target analyte. The said subpopulations are deposited sequentially and at discrete periods of each other. The process also comprises the step of making images of the substrate after deposition of each subpopulation. The images are then compared using the fiducial as a reference to thereby determine the location of each microbead and to identify the subpopulation, and its known active agent, based on differences between each image. Also disclosed in a system for using the microarray.
24 METHOD OF ANALYZING BINDING INTERACTIONS US13236651 2011-09-20 US20120077691A1 2012-03-29 Robert DuBridge
The invention is directed to methods for obtaining statistically significant information about how structural elements of proteins, e.g. position and identity of amino acid residues in binding domains, relate to functional properties of interest, such as binding affinity, specificity, and the like. In some embodiments, such information is collected by reacting under binding conditions a focused library of candidate nucleic acid-encoded binding compounds with a ligand, so that complexes form between the ligand and a portion of the candidate binding compounds (“binders”). Samples of binders and non-binders arc then decoded by high throughput nucleic acid sequencing to give statistically significant data about the binding properties of substantially all of the candidate binding compounds, permitting them to be ranked by their respective affinities or dissociation constants. A reference compound, such as a pre-existing antibody, may be included in the reaction to identify candidates with similar or improved binding characteristics that have additional desirable characteristics, such as higher solubility, reduced immunogenicity, higher stability, or the like.

Cigarette smoking is a primary determinant of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is the fourth leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Unique proteins associated with COPD capable of differentiating subjects likely to experience rapid (RPD) or slow (SLW) decline in lung function have been identified using comprehensive high-throughput proteomic approaches. Thirty peptides, which mapped to 21 unique proteins, were linearly associated with annualized rates of lung function decline among smokers with COPD characterized as having rapid or slow decline and smokers without COPD. Using three different statistical approaches to assess the data, the RPD and SLW groups are differentiated by 55 peptides, which mapped to 33 unique proteins. A number of the identified peptides are proteolytic fragments of proteins that are involved in the complement and/or coagulation systems, have anti-protease activity, or metabolic functions.

31 Methods and devices for multiplexed microarray microfluidic analysis of biomolecules US13597362 2012-08-29 US09481945B2 2016-11-01 David Juncker; Huiyan Li
Rapid and specific detection of biological cells and biomolecules is important to biological assays across diverse fields including genomics, proteomics, diagnoses, and pathological studies. Microarrays and microfluidics increasingly dominate such detection techniques due to the ability to perform significant numbers of tests with limited sample volumes. A snap chip assembly is provided for the transfer of a microarray of reagents within semi-spherical liquid droplets on a transfer chip to a target assay microarray on an assay chip following assembly of the two chips and physical contact of the droplets with the target array. Reagents in nanoliter quantities are spotted on both chips and selectively transferred as liquid droplets between transfer chip and assay chip within the contact areas. Using the snap chip structure the inventors performed immunoassays with colocalization of capture and detection antibodies with 10 targets and bead-in-gel droplet microarrays with 9 targets in the low pg/ml regime.
