SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTEIN CORONA SENSOR ARRAY FOR EARLY DETECTION OF DISEASES
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.
Bioparticle measuring method
The present disclosure relates to a bioparticle measuring method including forming on a solid phase a complex of a sample containing a bioparticle sampled from a specimen, a capturer containing a tag which binds to the solid phase and capable of binding to the bioparticle, and a detector capable of binding to the bioparticle and containing a labeled substance. A part or the whole of the complex may be dissociated from the solid phase to prepare a measurement sample containing a part or the whole of the complex not fixed on the solid phase, and signals from the measurement sample may be detected by a particle analyzer.
Bioparticle measuring method
The present disclosure relates to a bioparticle measuring method including detecting a signal from a first measurement sample and a signal from a second measurement sample, wherein the first measurement sample is prepared by mixing a first sample containing a bioparticle sampled from a specimen with a detector capable of binding to the bioparticle and containing a labeled substance, in the presence of an inhibitor capable of binding to the bioparticle and containing none of the labeled substance. The second measurement sample is prepared by mixing a second sample sampled from the same specimen independently from the first sample with the detector, under a condition that the inhibitor is substantially absent. A measurement result is then calculated from the detected signals from the first and second measurement samples.

Nanoallergens and uses thereof
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a nanoparticle based platform, and nanoallergens for identifying, evaluating and studying allergen mimotopes as multiple copies of a single mimotope or various combinations on the same particle. The nanoparticle is extremely versatile and allows multivalent binding to IgEs specific to a variety of mimotopes, simulating allergen proteins. Nanoparticles can include various molecular ratios of components. For example, the nanoallergens can include about 0.1-40% mimotope-lipid conjugate and about 60-99.9% lipid. The mimotope-lipid conjugate includes a mimotope, a first linker, and lipid molecule. Nanoallergens can be used in in vitro and in vivo applications to identify a specific patient's sensitivity to a set of epitopes and predict a symptomatic clinical response, identify allergen epitopes through blind screening peptide sequences from allergen protein, and in a clinical application similar to a scratch test.
