The present disclosure provides a system comprising a communication interface and computer for assigning a label to the biomolecule fingerprint, wherein the label corresponds to a biological state. The present disclosure also provides a sensor arrays for detecting biomolecules and methods of use. In some embodiments, the sensor arrays are capable of determining a disease state in a subject.

The present inventors identified a subpopulation of genes induced by type I and type II IFNs in a human submandibular gland (HSG) epithelial cell line. Unexpectedly, it was found that the majority of genes that are highly up-regulated by IFN-α are also highly induced by IFN-γ. In contrast, there was a substantial group of genes that are highly induced by IFN-γ only. In target tissues, this identified subpopulation of genes and probes allow different IFN patterns to be discerned, enabling more precise molecular classification of patient subpopulations. The identified gene probes are useful for selecting and monitoring therapy, and for defining efficacy of novel agents in the autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Antibody-free processes are disclosed that provide accurate quantification of a wide variety of low-abundance target analytes in complex samples. The processes can employ high-pressure, high-resolution chromatographic separations for analyte enrichment. Intelligent selection of target fractions may be performed via on-line Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) or off-line rapid screening of internal standards. Quantification may be performed on individual or multiplexed fractions. Applications include analyses of, e.g., very low abundance proteins or candidate biomarkers in plasma, cell, or tissue samples without the need for affinity-specific reagents.

The invention provides long immunogenic peptides for treating diseases related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-1. The invention also provides immunogenic compositions and vaccines comprises long immunogenic peptides of the invention and method of therapeutic treatment or prevention of SARS-CoV-related diseases comprising administration of immunogenic peptides according to the invention.

Disclosed herein, inter alia, are compositions and methods of use thereof for interrogating a cell.

The present invention provides photo-cleavable anionic surfactants, particularly 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo) and sodium 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate derivatives, which can be rapidly degraded upon UV irradiation, for top-down and bottom-up proteomics. These surfactants can effectively solubilize proteins and peptide fragments with performance comparable to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and are compatible with mass spectrometry analysis of the solubilized proteins and peptide fragments. Top-down proteomic studies using the present photo-cleavable anionic surfactants has allowed the detection of 100-fold more unique proteoforms as compared to controls and has enabled the solubilization of membrane proteins for comprehensive characterization of protein post-translational modifications. In addition, the present photo-cleavable anionic surfactants are also suitable for dissolving polypeptides in bottom-up proteomic experiments including extracellular matrix proteomics, and are suitable as a substitute for SDS in gel electrophoresis.
