The importance of biomarker quantitation assays
As part of the immune response, inflammation plays an
important role in defending the body against pathogens,
such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites.
However, inappropriate activation of inflammatory
processes is an underlying contributor to many common
pathological conditions. For example, autoimmune
conditions arise when our immune system mistakes our
cells or tissues for non-self antigens and attacks them.
In addition, studies show that tumor proliferation and
metastasis may occur when inflammatory cytokines create
a microenvironment conducive to cancer progression.
Figure 1 shows a simplified representation of cytokine
interactions during inflammation.
Acute versus chronic inflammation
Acute inflammation is a short-lived response that is
characterized by extravasation of leukocytes, erythrocytes,
and plasma components into the injured tissue. If left
unchecked, the acute inflammatory process can lead to
chronic inflammation.
Unlike acute inflammation, chronic inflammation is
characterized primarily by tissue infiltration of lymphocytes
and macrophages. Chronic inflammation is closely
associated with allergy, atherosclerosis, cancer, arthritis,
and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as autoimmune
diseases. The process of acute inflammation is well
defined, but the causes of chronic inflammation and its
associated molecular and cellular pathways are still not
well understood [1].

The critical balance between pro- and
anti-inflammatory mediators
The overall eect of an inflammatory response is dictated
by the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory
mediators (Table 1).
Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and
TNF-α, are responsible for early responses and amplify
inflammatory reactions, whereas anti-inflammatory
cytokines, which include IL-4, IL-10, and IL-13, have
the opposite eect in that they limit the inflammatory
reactions (Table 1). The increasing complexity of pro- and
anti-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine networks has
made it crucial to examine them in relevant functional
groups rather than individually (Figure 1, page 5).
To facilitate the investigation of inflammatory and other
biologically relevant biological markers, the Invitrogen™
portfolio has a broad menu of immunoassays to easily
detect and quantify proteins, and to facilitate tracking gene
expression of RNAs with the QuantiGene Plex assays.
Products are available for important research areas,
including immunology, neurobiology, cancer, cardiovascular
diseases, metabolism, and more.
Plate- and bead-based solutions for your research needs

The Invitrogen portfolio of immunoassay products
supports the evolution of research projects by oering
multiple platforms that provides the freedom to scale from
ELISA to multiplex assay based on project needs. Adding
QuantiGene Plex assays to the workflow can provide
an accurate and precise method for multiplexed gene
expression quantitation, using Luminex® xMAP® technology.

immunoassay kits
New
technology
The ProQuantum high-sensitivity
immunoassay is a platform innovation
that provides researchers with an
easy-to-run, high-performance assay
with no proprietary instrument to
purchase. By utilizing proximity-based
amplification technology, we have
combined the analyte specificity of
high-anity antibody–antigen binding
with the signal detection capabilities
of real-time PCR, to achieve a highly
sensitive protein quantitation assay
with a large dynamic range. With its
ability to detect even lower levels of
protein than traditional methods with
very small sample consumption, you
can get the most out of your precious
or limited samples.
Here’s how it works
The ProQuantum immunoassays
utilize a matched pair of target-specific
antibodies each conjugated to a DNA
oligonucleotide. During antibody–
analyte binding, the two DNA oligos
are brought into close proximity,
which then allows for ligation of the
two strands and subsequent creation
of a template strand for amplification.
This proximity-based technology
leverages the sensitivity and large
dynamic range of Applied Biosystems™
TaqMan® real-time PCR technology
(Figure 6).

Luminex xMAP technology
Quick, cost-eective, and accurate multianalyte
profiling system
The open-architecture of Luminex xMAP technology
uses flow cytometry, microspheres, lasers, digital signal
processing, and traditional chemistry—combining proven
technologies in a unique way.
Advantages
• Helps reduce costs and labor through multiplexing
• Smaller sample size requirements compared to single-
result assays
• Enables fast, reproducible results from favorable kinetics
of liquid bead array approach
• Broad coverage of applications, including protein
expression and gene expression profiling
How Luminex xMAP technology works
Sets of magnetic microspheres are color-coded with
combinations of red and infrared fluorophores. Each
bead set is coated with a reagent specific to a particular
bioassay, allowing the capture and detection of several
specific analytes from a single sample. Lasers in the
compact analyzer excite the internal dyes that identify
each microsphere as well as any reporter dye captured,
providing quantitation of individual analytes on each
microsphere. The analyzer reads many beads from each
set, enabling rapid and precise results for several targets
within a single sample.
Luminex xMAP technology
ProcartaPlex assays have adopted the Luminex xMAP
magnetic bead technology that uses Luminex® MagPlex®
superparamagnetic 6.5-micron microsphere beads with a
magnetic core. The beads are internally dyed with precise
proportions of red and infrared fluorophores. Varying
proportions of the red and infrared fluorophores result in
100 spectrally unique microspheres, which are identified by
the Luminex xMAP detection systems. The conjugation of
a distinct monoclonal antibody to a distinct bead allows for
analysis of multiple analytes in a single well.

ProcartaPlex multiplex
immunoassay kits
Profile more biomarkers with less sample
ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassays use the Luminex
xMAP (multianalyte profiling) technology that enables the
simultaneous detection and quantitation of up to 65 protein
targets in a single 25–50 µL sample—from plasma, serum,
cell culture supernatants, and other bodily fluids. The
technology employs the use of dierentially dyed, capture
beads for each target in a multiplex “ELISA-like” assay.
ProcartaPlex immunoassays can profile up to 65 times
more analytes using significantly less sample in the same
time that it takes to perform a traditional sandwich ELISA.
ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassays provide the ability to
create your unique panel and enable reproducible results
throughout the course of your study.
• More than 90% of ProcartaPlex assays can be combined
with one another
• All ProcartaPlex assays are individually tested for
specificity and endogenous, native protein detection
• Multianalyte detection with a large dynamic range
• Scalable and reproducible performance regardless of
plex size
• Largest multiplex panel on the market for quantitation of
up to 65 analytes
ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassays are available in
multiple formats across six species (human, mouse, rat,
nonhuman primate, porcine, and canine) to meet the needs
of your research.

Why ProcartaPlex assays?
Flexibility
Get exactly the panel you want. Since more than 90% of
ProcartaPlex assays can be combined with one another,
ProcartaPlex assays allow the creation of highly specific
as well as high-plex panels. We currently oer the largest
published panel with a 65-plex assay [1–4].
Reproducible results
ProcartaPlex assays are based on the principles of
sandwich ELISA, where two highly specific antibodies
recognize dierent epitopes on the same protein. Optimal
performance and reproducibility are achieved through
extensive multianalyte validation and optimization,
enabling the delivery of consistent, reproducible, and
high-quality assays.

Correlation to ELISA
Switch easily from ProcartaPlex assays to ELISA and vice
versa with reliable results. As shown in Figure 9, equivalent
results (R2 > 0.9) were obtained using the ProcartaPlex
multiplex immunoassays and traditional plate-based
ELISAs for human and mouse IFN gamma. ProcartaPlex
assays achieve quantitative results comparable to
traditional ELISA results with the added benefits of reduced
sample volume, shorter assay time, and lower cost.
Figure 9. Results of an experiment measuring IFN gamma and TNF alpha in stimulated human and mouse peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMCs). Supernatants were serially diluted two-fold in normal human or mouse serum, to allow for dierential cytokine levels in a serum matrix.
Additional cytokines for human and mouse analytes were compared, including IL-1 beta and IL-17A, and similar performance was obtained (data
not shown).

Scalability
The ability to scale the number of analytes investigated
in multiplex experiments is critical for the progression of
many projects. For example, it is not uncommon to begin
a research project by analyzing a large, comprehensive
35-plex cytokine panel on fewer samples (e.g., 100) to
determine which analytes are aected by a particular
disease or drug treatment. The resulting list of analytes can
then be investigated further, for instance, using an 11-plex
panel, on a larger set of samples. Thus, there is a great
need for scalability in multiplex panel assays in order to
enable researchers to correlate all of their data across the
dierent stages of their investigation. Many commercially
available multiplex assays have not been developed with
this level of consistency in mind. However, this specification
is a key design requirement incorporated during the
ProcartaPlex assay development. Data in Figures 10 and
11 illustrate the high correlation between similar analytes
in a large and small panel and the scalability when using
ProcartaPlex assays. Similar results are obtained when
investigating other analytes.

Immuno-oncology
The human immune system has evolved to protect
the integrity of multicellular organisms against external
threats such as malignant cells, which are altered due
to carcinogenesis. Many advanced anticancer therapies
aim to engage the power of the immune system to
combat cancer. The goal of cancer immunotherapy is
to initiate a self-sustaining cycle of cancer immunity,
overcome negative feedback mechanisms, and avoid
immunosuppressive molecules.
T cells and natural killer (NK) cells are important players
in fighting malignant cells, and soluble forms of receptors
and ligands can be measured with Invitrogen™ ImmunoOncology Checkpoint ProcartaPlex™ Panels.

ProcartaPlex high-sensitivity
immunoassay kits
Invitrogen™ ProcartaPlex™ high-sensitivity immunoassay kits
oer accurate quantitation of key cytokines significantly
below the detection limit of conventional Luminex assays.
• Highest sensitivity detection of cytokine concentrations,
in fg/mL
• Inter- and intra-assay CV <10%
• Small sample input (25 μL) ideal for precious serum or
plasma samples
• Easy-to-use, simple ELISA-like protocol completed in less
than 4 hr
• Convenient, ready-to-use kits for quantitation of up to
9 cytokines
• Trusted platform based on the principles of a sandwich
ELISA and utilizing Luminex xMAP (multianalyte
profiling) technology
The ProcartaPlex high-sensitivity immunoassays enable the
multiplexed analysis of human and mouse analytes in very
low concentrations in various matrices, including serum,
plasma, bodily fluids, and cell culture supernatant samples.
These high-sensitivity multiplex assays are ideal when
sample input is limited, and protein expression is in the low
pg/mL range.
Accurate quantitation below conventional limits is achieved
through a proprietary signal amplification technology. The
signal amplification has negligible eects on the assay
background, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of
the cytokine standards on the lower end of the standard
curve. This also allows for more accurate and reproducible
measurement of cytokines with low expression levels.

Accurate and precise RNA quantitation of up to 80 gene transcripts
in a single well (96- and 384-well format)
Overview of QuantiGene
Plex assays
The QuantiGene Plex assays provide
an accurate and precise method
for multiplexed gene expression
quantitation. Using the Luminex xMAP
technology, QuantiGene Plex
assays allow for simultaneous
measurement of 3–80 RNA species
in every well of a 96- or 384-well
plate. Branched DNA assays
allow for the direct measurement
of RNA transcripts by using
signal amplification rather than
template amplification.
The QuantiGene Plex assays are
simple and easy to use; they don’t
require RNA extraction, cDNA
synthesis, or PCR amplification.
QuantiGene Plex assays are
ideal for verifying microarray or
next-generation sequencing (NGS)
data and for verifying biomarkers for
translational research.
Key features and benefits of the assay
• Works with dicult sample types—works with degraded and crosslinked
RNA in formalin-fixed, paran-embedded (FFPE) tissues and directly with
blood, with no RNA purification required
• True multiplexing—measure up to 80 genes of interest and housekeeping
genes in the same well with no cross-reactivity; reduces the number of
sample wells and sample amount needed
• Standardized platform—96-well plate format compatible with Luminex
100/200, MAGPIX, and FLEXMAP 3D systems
• Simple workflow—ELISA-like workflow for direct hybridization of transcripts
to beads and transcript labeling, and no reverse transcription needed
• Large inventory of verified genes—over 22,500 genes can be mixed in up
to 80-plex panels to create pathway- and disease-themed panels
• Faster customization than other methods—if we don’t have your gene(s),
we can create and QC your custom panel typically in 2–3 weeks
• ISH compatible—same technology utilized in the Invitrogen™ ViewRNA™ Kits
for mRNA in situ hybridization (ISH)

Application: Stimulation of whole human blood
CXCL10 -responsive gene induction was confirmed
using a QuantiGene 12-plex panel to test RNA isolated
from whole blood of a healthy donor. Whole blood
was stimulated ex vivo with C X C L10. Gene induction
was shown to be dose-dependent (Figure 12) and was
eliminated upon heat inactivation of the chemokine. Gene
expression was normalized to the expression level of the
GAPDH housekeeping gene and presented as the ratio
of treated:untreated. Data courtesy of Medarex Inc., a
BMS Company [5].
Benefit: QuantiGene Plex assays work directly with
whole blood without the need for globin depletion or
RNA purification.

Additional gene expression solutions
Gene expression
profiling solutions
Comprehensive solutions for gene
expression profiling, verification,
and analysis are supported by
sequencing, microarrays, and realtime PCR technologies. For discovery,
in particular, de novo discovery of
dierentially expressed genes (DEGs),
transcriptome sequencing provides
a hypothesis-neutral approach that
allows interrogation of any gene in the
sample, with a wide dynamic range
to allow dierential gene expression
analysis of low-expressing genes.
For analysis deep within the known
transcriptome, transcriptome-level
microarrays provide fast profiling
of coding and noncoding genes,
exons, and transcript isoforms.
Well-annotated gene expression
analysis can be performed with
gene-level microarrays. DEGs can be
verified using mid-throughput realtime PCR formats such as Applied
Biosystems™ TaqMan® OpenArray™
Panels and TaqMan® Array Cards,
and the resulting genes of interest
can be quantified more precisely
by digital PCR or real-time PCR
with Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan®
Gene Expression Assays. Testing
experiments can also be performed to
further examine the behavior of these
genes across a larger population
of samples.
Gene expression profiling by sequencing
You can get the same simple workflow with the same
flexibility, now faster and more scalable than ever. The
Ion Torrent™ GeneStudio™ S5 series is a line of benchtop
NGS systems that enable you to eciently run small and
large projects across multiple research applications, with
the simplest sample-to-data benchtop NGS workflow and superior speed. With
flexibility powered by the ability to choose from five Ion Torrent™ chips, these
systems oer an opportunity to conduct wide-ranging experiments on a single
platform. A single instrument can scale easily to accommodate multiple RNA
analysis applications, throughputs, and data outputs including:
• Whole-transcriptome analysis
• Small RNA analysis
• Targeted RNA sequencing

Gene expression quantification by digital PCR
Digital PCR enables highly precise measurements and is able to resolve
changes in gene expression level of two-fold or less. Digital PCR can also be
used to determine the absolute quantification of a transcript without the need for
a reference gene.
Now, you can go beyond the limits of real-time PCR with the
Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio™ 6 Flex Real-Time PCR System. The system
is ideal for laboratories with multiple applications or end users on a limited
budget. Easily interchangeable thermal cycling block formats let you select the
format (96-well, 96-well Fast, and 384-well) that best suits your project without
having to move attached peripherals or computers. The intuitive software, easy
touchscreen setup, and eortless block changes are designed to let you get
started right away.
