Abstract
Affinity-based methods such as protein microarrays have come to complement conventional mass/charge-based techniques for proteomic characterization of biological samples. Simultaneous measurement of hundreds or even thousands of serum biomarkers such as antibodies, antigens and other proteins may greatly improve the diagnostic accuracy in a variety of conditions such as autoimmune disorders, infections and several cancers. However, today's technologies for affinity proteomics are cumbersome, require expensive equipment and skilled operators. Here, we present two novel paper-based techniques developed in our lab that aim to bridge the gap between highly multiplexed affinity proteomics and point of care testing.
