Method for detecting target protein in biological sample
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240035073A1) describes a method for detecting a target protein in a fixed biological sample. The method involves contacting the sample with a secondary antibody or fragment attached to an oligonucleotide, followed by a signal-generating complex that hybridizes to the oligonucleotide, resulting in the detection of a signal. The secondary antibody can be specific for antigens on primary antibodies targeting the protein, with variations including multiple secondary antibodies for different or the same antigens.
Furthermore, the patent application details the use of various secondary antibodies, such as monoclonal, bispecific, or chimeric antibodies, attached to oligonucleotides via linkers like HyNic or SMCC. The method also includes the use of blocking agents and crosslinking agents in sample preparation. The signal-generating complex may contain amplifiers and detectable labels like fluorescent or chromogenic moieties. The application also covers kits for detecting target proteins, including secondary antibodies attached to oligonucleotides and signal-generating complexes, with the option of including control or reference samples for validation purposes.
