Project description:Human plasma samples from CDR = 0 and CDR ≥ 0.5 patients, and serum samples from non-diseased, non-surgical controls were probed onto human protein microarrays to test the utility of a previously established panel of MCI-specific autoantibody (aAB) biomarkers to detect prodromal AD presurgically in individuals admitted into the hospital for hip fracture repair (HFR) surgery.
Project description:A non-invasive diagnostic test does not exist for acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). We therefore sought to identify biomarkers for aGVHD using antibody microarrays (Schleicher and Schuell Serum Biomarker Chips, Whatman) that simultaneously assayed 120 plasma proteins. We measured these proteins in a set of 42 patient plasma samples following an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT): 21 patients with a diagnosis of aGVHD grade II-IV (+GVHD) and 21 patients without aGVHD (–GVHD) at similar times after transplant. We excluded data from 2 hybridizations that had very bright dots and appeared as outliers in preliminary principal components analysis, so that we finally compared 20 +GVHD to 20 -GVHD samples.

Project description:Synovial antigen arrays were probed with 1:150 dilutions of plasma derived from SJL mice immunized with fibrinogen emulsified in CFA or with CFA alone. Autoantibody binding was detected with a Cy3-conjugated goat-anti-mouse IgG/M secondary antibody. SAM was applied to identify antigens with statistically significant differences in array reactivity between FIA and CFA control plasma (q < 0.01) obtained from mice before boosting. The SAM hits were subjected to hierarchical cluster analysis and are displayed as a heatmap. Synovial array profiling of FIA plasma demonstrated autoreactive B-cell responses against peptides representing native fibrinogen, and B-cell epitope spreading resulting in additional targeting of citrullinated fibrinogen in the samples obtained before boosting.
Project description:Plasma collected from mice with FIA were pooled, and 0.3 ml was injected intravenously into 6-week-old naïve SJL mice on days 0 and 2. Synovial antigen array profiling of plasma from the arthritic recipient mice demonstrated autoreactive B-cell responses against peptides representing native fibrinogen and citrullinated fibrinogen, and further epitope spreading resulting in additional targeting of fibronectin, collagen type V, cartilage gp39, and clusterin. Custom-spotted protein slides were probed with plasma samples from individual mice. Four slides were probed with plasma derived from naïve mice and four slides were probed with plasma derived from mice injected with FIA plasma.

Project description:Saliva based diagnostics is a rapidly evolving field due to the large potential of saliva and the simple sample collection. A systematic comparison of IgG antibody profiles in saliva and plasma is currently lacking in scientific literature. Our hypothesis is that IgG profiles are equal in blood and saliva. By showing the equality of the profiles and relative IgG antigenic reactivities towards proteins and peptides we provide evidence that plasma IgG reactivities can be inferred from saliva IgG reactivities. IgG antibodies were isolated from human saliva and plasma samples. The reactivities of IgG isolates were analysed on peptide microarrays displaying linear epitopes of EBV (EBNA1 protein) and HBV (Large envelope protein) virus. Peptide arrays were printed by JPT Peptide Technologies (Berlin, Germany). We show high similarity of saliva and plasma IgG profiles on these two platforms and argue for generalisation from this subset to the whole immunological IgG antibody profile.

Project description:Maternal plasma samples collected longitudinally from pregnant women were profiled using SomaLogic aptamer-based assays in women with normal pregnancy and those who delivered preterm. DiagnosisGA is the gestational age at diagnosis with any disease indicated by the Group variable, and it is set to NA for normal pregnancies. In the Group variable, sPTD stands for spontaneous preterm delivery, and PPROM for preterm premature rupture of membranes. Additional longitudinal samples of the controls, including the two samples included herein, are also available and described in PMID: 28738067.
Project description:Splenocytes harvested from mice with FIA were cultured in vitro and stimulated with 0.01 mg/ml fibrinogen for 3 days. Enriched T cells were transferred into 6-week-old naïve SJL mice, which developed visible signs of arthritis within 2 weeks. Synovial array profiling of plasma from the arthritic recipient mice demonstrated autoreactive B cell responses against peptides representing native fibrinogen, and further spreading of the responses to target collagen type V, cartilage gp39, and citrullinated vimentin. Custom-spotted protein slides were with plasma samples from individual mice. Four slides were probed with plasma derived from naïve mice and five slides were probed with plasma derived from mice injected with FIA T cells.
Project description:The current project is designed to evaluate the utility of proteomics in identifying pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers for biosimilarity assessment. This is an extension of the data submitted in GSE207945 which profiled longitudinal plasma samples from healthy subjects treated with single therapeutic doses/high doses of IFNβ-1a (30 μg) or Pegylated IFNβ-1a (125 μg) or placebo, to identify candidate PD biomarkers for the two biologics (n=248 for IFNβ-1a and N=528 for pegIFNβ-1a). The current project is a continuation study profiling longitudinal plasma samples from healthy subjects treated with an intermediate/lower dose of IFNβ-1a (15 μg) and pegIFNβ-1a (62.5 μg). Here, we reproduced the previous PD biomarker candidate responses at a lower dose, and further characterized their PD response using characteristics such as significant area under the effect curve, dose-response, temporal profile and return to baseline, variability and sensitivity of the biomarker with sensitive doses on the steep portion of the dose-response curve and mechanism of action using all three tested dose groups (high, intermediate and low).
