This study compares label-free protein microarray assays for clinical diagnostics. The sandwich assay demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity and reproducibility for prostate-specific antigen detection compared to the reverse assay.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Protein microarrays offer multiplexed quantification of proteins, crucial for clinical diagnostics and prognostics.
  • Label-free assays simplify clinical sample processing, enhancing the utility of protein microarrays.
  • Porous silicon surfaces provide a high-performance platform for microarray development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the analytical sensitivity of label-free reverse-phase and sandwich antibody assays on protein microarrays.
  • To assess the performance of these assays for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection in various biological matrices.
  • To determine the suitability of microarray technology for clinical sample analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized protein microarrays on porous silicon surfaces with fluorescence detection.

  • Compared reverse-phase and sandwich antibody assay formats for label-free detection.
  • Quantified prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in buffer, cell lysates, and female serum.

    • Main Results:

    • The sandwich assay exhibited a 5-order-of-magnitude lower detection limit (0.7 ng/mL) than the reverse assay (70 µg/mL) for PSA in buffer.
    • PSA at 50 nM was detected by the sandwich assay in cell lysates, but not by the reverse assay.
    • In serum, the sandwich assay showed excellent linearity (R2 > 0.99), reproducibility (CV ≤ 15%), and a detection limit of 0.14 ng/mL.

    Conclusions:

    • The sandwich assay format provides superior analytical sensitivity for PSA detection on protein microarrays compared to the reverse assay.
    • The sandwich assay is a promising tool for analyzing clinical samples, particularly for prostate-specific antigen quantification.
    • Protein microarrays, especially using the sandwich assay, hold significant potential for advancing clinical diagnostics.
