Highly specific circular proximity ligation assay
Provided herein is a circular proximity ligation assay in which proximity-probes are employed as bridges to connect two free oligonucleotides via a dual ligation event, resulting in the formation of a circle. The circles are then quantified by, e.g., qPCR. The addition of an extra oligonucleotide is believed to enhance specificity by decreasing the probability of random background ligation events. In addition, circle formation may have selective advantages, as uncircularized DNA can be removed by a simple exonuclease treatment and it has streamlined the workflow by eliminating preamplification prior to qPCR.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING MULTIPLE ANALYTES
A method for detecting different analytes includes mixing different analytes with sensing probes, wherein at least some of the sensing probes are specific to respective ones of the analytes. The analytes respectively are captured by the sensing probes that are specific to those analytes. Fluorophores respectively are coupled to sensing probes that captured respective analytes. The sensing probes are mixed with beads, wherein the beads are specific to respective ones of the sensing probes, and wherein the beads include different codes identifying the analytes to which those sensing probes are specific. The sensing probes respectively are coupled to beads that are specific to those sensing probes. The beads are identified that are coupled to the sensing probes that captured analytes using at least fluorescence from the fluorophores coupled to those sensing probes. The analytes that are captured are identified.
