 |  | Simple Western Assays for Detection of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, Key Players in SARS-CoV-2 Infection | [show details] |
|
In this Application Note, we demonstrate how Simple Western can be applied for the detection and characterization of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, key players in SARS-CoV-2 infection. As an open platform, any commercial or custom antibody may be used for target protein detection on Simple Western. Here, we used an anti-ACE2 antibody from R&D Systems and an anti-TMPRSS2 antibody from Novus Biologicals to develop immunodetection assays for these proteins in purified form and expressed in human cells. This resulted in assays that were highly sensitive over a large dynamic range, providing molecular weight information and even quantification in a human cells. |
 |  | Reprobe Your Immunoassay Samples Using RePlex with Jess | [show details] |
|
To gain the most data out of your precious sample, Jess provides a two-step immunoassay that is
performed within the same capillary. This new feature, called RePlex removes the antibodies from the
first round of probing to perform either a second round of probing with new antibodies or total protein
detection. Importantly, RePlex efficiently removes antibodies between probing without compromising
the integrity of the immobilized protein or its epitopes, allowing for excellent reproducibility across
cycles. With Jess’s chemiluminescence and fluorescence channels, you can detect multiple targets per
cycle. The second cycle can also be dedicated to total protein detection so that you can normalize your
data with confidence. All the steps of RePlex are automatically performed with Jess, providing more data,
and lowering the cost of reagents and consumables per sample. |

 |  | Wes and Milo Synergize to Profile Immune Cell Populations in the Tumor Microenvironment | [show details] |
|
Immunotherapy has opened the door to a new era in cancer treatment where dramatically successful and durable responses are being reported. Still, the population of patients who respond are a minority, and this highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the immune response to cancer. To that end, accumulating evidence suggests that the heterogeneous makeup of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major contributor to the discrepancies in response observed. |

 |  | Monitoring Target Engagement in Drug Discovery: Application of Wes to the Cellular Thermal Shift Assay | [show details] |
|
In drug discovery, confirmation of in-cell target engagement is a critical component of the drug development process. Confirming that a drug candidate engages its proposed target in the cell and determining the concentration at which it exerts the desired effect(s) fulfill fundamental criteria for translation to activity and efficacy in its target tissue. Thermal shift assays (TSA) are regularly used by industry and academia to uncover or confirm interactions using purified proteins. Recently, this type of assay has been adapted to a cellular format and is called the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA). In this application note, quantitative and reproducible CETSA data generated with ProteinSimple’s Wes instrument (CETSA-Wes) are presented. This assay verifies drug target binding, and given its quantitative nature, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) is also calculated. |

 |  | Simple Western Streamlines Serum Antibody Analysis | [show details] |
|
Scientists measure serum antibody levels to confirm immune responses against a bacteria to diagnose infections, to test for antibody production after vaccination, and to detect the presence of autoantibodies in autoimmune diseases. Traditional Western blots are often used to detect these antibodies, but testing with Western blots means a lot of hands-on time. After the antigen of interest is separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a membrane, each lane has to be cut into individual strips so patient serum samples can be individually tested for the presence of specific antibodies. Then you have to process and analyze them manually.
Simple Western assays happen in individual capillaries, and everything from sample separation to data analysis is completely automated. No more cutting individual strips, washing and incubating them, or lining them all up with a molecular weight marker before detection. Just pipette your sample into the wells of your assay plate, set up your run, and you're done! And all that manual data analysis is gone too — Compass for Simple Western does it all for you. Did we mention you only need 10 µL of diluted serum per data point? That means you'll get a lot more data points for every 1 µL of neat serum.
In this application note, we used Simple Western to detect autoantibodies in lupus patient serum as a model system to generate proof-of-concept data for the assay. But you can use this method any time you need to detect and quantitate specific serum antibodies. In fact, check out how researchers are using this assay to detect Salmonella antibodies without having to cut blots into individual strips. |
 |  | Breaking Laser Capture Microdissection Sample Size Road Blocks with Simple Western | [show details] |
|
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a powerful tool to identify and isolate a pure sample of the cell type you're
interested in. But, proteomic studies with LCM samples are really restricted by the small amounts of tissue collected with
each capture since there just isn't much to work with. You often have to use the entire sample captured for traditional
Western blot analysis and that only leaves you with one data point! So, researchers often use 2D Electrophoresis and
mass spectrometry instead to max out the amount of data they can generate. Both of these methods have their own
limitations when it comes to ease-of-use and reproducibility though. Immunohistochemistry is also used to analyze LCM
samples as it's a more accessible technique, but it really doesn't give you a lot of info either.
Simple Western is an automated capillary-based immunoassay that changes the proteomic research game. You only
need 1-10 µL of LCM sample for each data point, so you'll get more data points for each sample you collect. Not to
mention the sensitivity that comes with it will even let you analyze proteins you couldn't previously do with traditional
Western blot. And it's all wrapped up in a simple workflow that minimizes your hands-on time. Simple Western is a
sensitive, easy-to-use analytical tool that ups the ante on protein analysis with LCM samples.
In this application note, we'll show you two examples of how Simple Western changed what researchers could do with
their precious LCM samples for the better |

 |  | Detailed Characterization of ERK1 and ERK2 Phosphorylation | [show details] |
|
Monophospho- and diphospho-ERK isoforms are not resolved by traditional Western blot analysis, and the sample quantity required is relatively large. The Firefly ERK1/ERK2 assay can distinguish and quantify unphosphorylated, mono and dual-phosphorylated isoforms of ERK1 and ERK2, allowing a more accurate determination of ERK activation than Western blots provide. |
 |  | Screening siRNA and Verifying shRNA Knockouts | [show details] |
|
RNA interference (RNAi) is an RNA-dependent gene silencing mechanism that can affect the expression of specific genes by inhibiting translation or suppressing transcription epigenetically. Using Firefly assays, RNAi effects such as impact on phosphorylation or silencing can be studied functionally in samples as small as 100 cells. An additional benefit of the small samples size is that a variety of conditions can be studies in a single assay. |
