Abstract

There is a direct correlation between protein levels and disease states in human serum making it an attractive target for sensors and diagnostics. However this is made challenging because serum features more than 20,000 proteins with an overall protein content of greater than 1 mM. Here we report a hybrid synthetic-biomolecule based sensor that uses green fluorescent protein-nanoparticle arrays to detect proteins at biorelevant concentrations in both buffer and human serum. Distinct and reproducible fluorescence response patterns were obtained from five serum proteins (human serum albumin, immunoglobulin G, transferrin, fibrinogen and α-antitrypsin) in buffer and when spiked into human serum. Using linear discriminant analysis we identified these proteins with an identification accuracy of 100% in buffer and 97% in human serum. The arrays were also able to discriminate between different concentrations of the same protein as well as a mixture of different proteins in human serum.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
