    Luminex AssaysHigh-throughput Multiplex Bead Based Assays

    Luminex assays are based on xMAP technology (multi-analyte proling beads) enabling

    the detection and quantitation o multiple RNA or protein targets simultaneously. The

    xMAP system combines a ow cytometer, uorescent-dyed microspheres (beads), lasers

    and digital signal processing to efciently allow multiplexing o up to 100 unique assays

    within a single sample.

    Panomics has an aggressive program or the development o a broad range o assays or

    the Luminex platorm and similar instruments based on the xMAP technology. Currently

    we have hundreds o RNA targets available in 330 plex assays using our using our

    QuantiGene Plex Reagent Systems, with new targets being added weekly. Our Procarta

    Human, Mouse and Rat Assays can quantitatively measure cytokines and chemokines

    rom a variety o sample sources, including serum and plasma. Weve recently expanded

    our amily o assays designed to measure protein expression and monitor protein modi-

    cations/activation states in diverse matrices.

    We are also proud to be one o the ew Luminex Certied Developers. Luminex have

    recognized us as having both unique and extensive assay development capabilities. We

    are happy to discuss your specic needs and develop and validate your assay to the same

    exacting standards as our commercially available assays.

    QuantiGene Plex 2.0Taking Multiplexed Gene Expression to the Next Level

    QuantiGene Plex 2.0 and Luminex

    QuantiGene Plex oers high reproducibility and ease-o-use that

    make it the perect assay to bridge the technology gap when

    studying many genes in a limited number o samples and study-

    ing a ew genes in a large number o samples. With QuantiGene

    Plex, researchers can easily perorm multiplexed analyses rom rare

    or volume-limited samples and can compare results across dier-

    ent samples, experiments and laboratories. Proling many genes

    simultaneously in a single reaction directly rom cultured cell or

    whole blood lysates, or resh, rozen or FFPE tissue homogenates,

    can be accomplished without the need or RNA purication,

    reverse transcription, or amplication.

    QuantiGene Plex 2.0 assays combine branched DNA (bDNA) signal

    amplication technology and xMAP (multi-analyte proling) beads

    to enable simultaneous quantication o multiple RNA targets

    directly rom cultured cell or whole blood lysates; resh, rozen or

    ormalin-xed, parafn-embedded (FFPE) tissue homogenates;

    or puried RNA preparations. Clinically proven Branched DNA

    technology is a sandwich nucleic acid hybridization assay that

    provides a unique approach or RNA detection and quantication

    by ampliying the reporter signal rather than the target sequence.

    By measuring the RNA at the sample source, the assay avoids

    variations or errors inherent to extraction and amplication o

    target sequences.

    Demonstrated Performance with Clinically Relevant Sample Types

    Using QuantiGene Plex 2.0 in High Throughput ApplicationsMany potential drugs that specically target a particular protein considered to underlie a

    given disease have been ound to be less eective than hoped, or to cause signicant side

    eects. The intrinsic robustness o living systems against various perturbations is a key actor

    that prevents such compounds rom being successul.

    By including screening measurements in a more integrated manner using chemical genomic

    approaches, i.e. associated pathway elements, dose response, o target targets, the likelihood

    o identiying more robust compounds (SMEs) or biologicals that have a higher chance o ulti-

    mate success will increase signicantly. At the same time promising candidates that would have

    ultimately ailed at a later stage in the development process will be identied during screening,

    enabling higher attrition rates supporting the ultimate goal o ailing aster.

    QuantiGene Plex 2.0 is ideally suited to deliver cost eective multiplex data or these new

    high value contextually relevant assays. Benets to consider:

    Target additional pathway elements not just primary genes of interest

    Get earlier indication of toxicology proles and stress indicators

    Develop dose response proles

    384 well or 96 well plate formats are supported

    Assay can be readily automated

    Procarta Transcription Factor PlexLuminex Assays or Transcription Factor Proling

    About TranscriptionFactors

    Transcription Factors (TFs) are highly

    conserved proteins that bind to DNA and

    initiate transcription o a given gene. A

    single extracellular stimulus can trigger

    multiple signaling pathways, and these in

    turn can activate multiple TFs to mediate

    the inducible expression o target genes.

    The Procarta TF Plex assay is a proling

    assay or monitoring the activation o TFs.

    We have developed two panels (40-plex

    and 43-plex) which are Luminex based

    to prole and measure activated TFs.

    The 96-well plate ormat enables high-

    throughput proling o the DNA binding

    activity o TFs in multiple samples with

    high sensitivity.

    Key Applications

    The SH2 Domaina Key to UnderstandingPhosphotyrosine-Dependent SignalTransduction

    SH2 domains are one o the many protein domain amilies

    that mediate protein-protein interactions in signal trans-duction. Like other domains, SH2 domains are dened by

    a conserved region o amino acid residues. The olding

    characteristics o this sequence o 100-amino acids allow

    these domains to specically recognize and bind to

    phosphotyrosine-containing ligands.

    There are approximately 120 dierent SH2 domains that

    bind to 110 dierent proteins in the human genome. These

    protein-protein interactions involving phosphotyrosines,

    like those made possible by SH2 domains, are a primary

    means o recruiting signaling proteins, and thus play a

    major role in signal transduction.

    SH2 domains can be ound in enzymes, adaptor proteins,

    regulatory subunits o signaling proteins, scaold proteins,

    transcription actors and oncogenic proteins. These pro-

    teins are integral to the signaling process because they act

    as adaptors between receptors and downstream signaling

    molecules, transmitting signals within cells and regulating

    the kinase activity o specic proteins.

    Protein phosphorylation is a major conduit o inormation or

    cellular responses, and deects in SH2 domain-dependent

    signaling are oten directly or indirectly shown to be involvedin human diseases.

    Phosphotyrosine Proling Using SH2 Domains

    The Procarta SH2 Domain Plex assay is a 30 plex assay

    capable o proling identiying dierences o measuring

    SH2 proteins that have bound to phosphorylated tyrosine

    residues o proteins.

    Luminex Technology Overview

    Luminexs xMAP technology is built on proven, existing

    technologyow cytometry, microspheres, lasers, digital signal

    processing and traditional chemistrythat have been combined

    in a unique way. Featuring a exible, open-architecture design,

    xMAP technology can be congured to perorm a wide variety obioassays quickly, cost-eectively and accurately.

    Luminex color-codes tiny beads, called microspheres, into 100

    distinct sets. Each bead set can be coated with a reagent specic

    to a particular bioassay, allowing the capture and detection o

    specic analytes rom a sample. Within the Luminex compact

    analyzer, lasers excite the internal dyes that identiy each micro-

    sphere particle, and also any reporter dye captured during the

    assay. Many readings are made on each bead set, urther validat-

    ing the results. In this way, xMAP technology allows multiplexing

    o up to 100 unique assays within a single sample, both rapidly

    and precisely.

    Heres How It Works

    The Luminex System is a exible analyzer based on the principles

    o ow cytometry that is designed to meet the needs o any

    size research laboratory. The system enables you to multiplex

    (simultaneously measure) up to 100 analytes in a single microplate

    well, using very small sample volumes. At Panomics though, we

    oer multiplexed solutions o up to 40 dierent analytes in a single

    well. The system delivers ast and cost-eective bioassay results

    on many assay ormats that Panomics oers which include: gene

    expression, transcription actor proling, cytokine proling andSH2 Domain proling.

    The Luminex System is the combination o three core xMAP

    technologies. The rst is xMAP microspheres, a amily o 100

    uorescently dyed 5.6 micron-sized polystyrene microspheres that

    act as both the identier and the solid surace to build the assay.

    The second is a ow cytometry-based instrument, the Luminex

    analyzer, which integrates key xMAP detection components such

    as lasers, optics, advanced uidics and high-speed digital signal

    processors. The third component is the assays that are designed

    around the microspheres.

    xMAP Technology

    The xMAP technology uses 5.6 micron polystyrene microspheres

    which are internally dyed with red and inrared uorophores. Using

    dierent amounts o the two dyes or dierent batches o micro-

    spheres, up to 100 dierent microsphere sets can be created. Each

    bead is unique with a spectral signature determined by its red/

    inrared dye mixture. The bead is lled with a specic known ratio

    o the two dyes. As each microsphere carries a unique signature,

    the xMAP detection system can identiy to which set it belongs.

    Thereore, multiplexing up to 100 tests in a single reaction volume

    is possible.

    Luminex Reader DesignThe Luminex reader combines two lasers, uidics, and real-time

    digital signal processing to distinguish up to 100 dierent sets o

    color-coded polystyrene beads, each bearing a dierent assay. The

    Luminex reader is an essential tool that perorms the key unctions

    FluidicsThe reader detects individual beads by ow cytometry. The uidics system

    o the reader aligns the beads into single le as they enter a stream o sheath uid and

    then enter a ow cell. Once the beads are in single le within the ow cell, each bead is

    individually interrogated or bead color (analyte) and assay signal strength (PE uorescence

    intensity)

    LasersThe reader uses a 532 nm green laser (assay laser) is used to excite the PE dye o

    the assay (Streptavidin-PE). The 635 nm solid state laser (red classiy laser) is used to excite

    the dyes inside the beads to determine their color or region and is also used or doublet

    discrimination by light scatter

    DetectorsThe reader has our detectors, one or each o the optical paths shown in the

    gure below. Detectors are used to measure the uorescence o the assay, to make bead

    determination (1-100) and the last to discriminate between single and aggregate beads.
