    摘要: Methods, compositions and kits are disclosed. The compositions are light emitting and comprise a polymeric matrix having dissolved therein a photoactive compound. The composition has the characteristic that, after activation of the photoactive compound, the rate of decrease in the intensity of light emission at any time during a 20-fold decrease in the intensity is proportional to the intensity of the light emission. In one embodiment the polymeric matrix is comprised of particles of about 20 nm to about 100 μm in diameter to which is bound a specific binding pair member. The particles generally comprise a polymeric matrix having dissolved therein about 1 to about 20% by weight of a dopant. The compositions may be used in methods for determining an analyte. A combination is provided comprising (1) a medium suspected of containing the analyte, (2) and the aforementioned composition. The photoactive substance is activated and the effect of the activating on the optical properties of the combination is detected. The presence and amount of the effect is related to the presence and amount of the analyte in the medium. Also disclosed are kits for use in an assay.

    摘要: Methods are provided for detecting the formation of complexes of molecules, especially proteins, in a sample, such as a cell or tissue lysate. In one aspect, a cleaving probe specific for a first protein in a complex and one or more binding compounds specific for one or more second proteins in a complex are provided. Upon binding, the cleaving probe is induced to generate an active species, such as singlet oxygen, that cleaves molecular tags attached to the binding compounds only in the local region of the cleaving probe. The released molecular tags are separated from the assay mixture and from one another to provide a readout that is related to the number and types of proteins present in the complex.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of determining whether tumor cells or tissue is responsive to treatment with an ErbB pathway-specific drug. In accordance with the invention, measurements are made on such cells or tissues to determine values for total ErbB receptors of one or more types, ErbB receptor dimers of one or more types and their phosphorylation states, and/or one or more ErbB signaling pathway effector proteins and their phosphorylation states. These quantities, or a response index based on them, are positively or negatively correlated with cell or tissue responsiveness to treatment with an ErbB pathway-specific drug. In one aspect, such correlations are determined from a model of the mechanism of action of a ErbB pathway-specific drug on an ErbB pathway. Preferably, methods of the invention are implemented by using sets of binding compounds having releasable molecular tags that are specific for multiple components of one or more complexes formed in ErbB pathway activation. After binding, molecular tags are released and separated from the assay mixture for analysis.

    摘要: Methods and kits for detecting the activation states of a plurality of signal transducers of circulating cells of a solid tumor in a specific, multiplex, high-throughput assay are described. The methods comprise: contacting the signal transducers extracted from the cells with first, second, and third binding partners specific for each of the signal transducers to produce signal transducer-binding partner complexes. The second binding partners bind the corresponding signal transducers independent of their activation state and are labeled with a first moiety, and the third binding partners bind the corresponding signal transducers dependent of their activation state and are labeled with a second moiety. The first and second moieties are detected as an indication of the activation states of the plurality of signal transducers.
