Early detection of protein biomarkers is critical to the study of human disease (cancer, neurobiology, inflammation/autoimmunity, etc). Basic research scientists, as well as translational investigators seek sensitive protein quantitation tools that provide low-level detection of disease relevant protein analytes. The enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) first developed in the 1970s and slightly improved upon over the years, is still considered the gold standard for specific protein quantitation. However, large sample consumption, limited sensitivity, and laborious workflows associated with ELISA methods leave room for improvement and new innovation.
Thermo Fisher Scientific, the worldwide leader in life science tools for researchers, is unveiling an affordable new platform for the next generation of highsensitivity, ready-to-use immunoassays. Featuring serum compatible, TaqMan™ based proximity ligation assay (PLA) and Siteclick™ antibody labeling technologies, this new assay combines the analyte specificity of high affinity antibody-antigen binding with the signal detection and amplification of real-time PCR. Not only does this assay technique allow measurement of low expressing proteins that we may not have otherwise been able to detect, but it also provides an easy method to verify gene expression at a protein level.
