    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and assay systems for use in spatially encoded biological assays, including assays to determine a spatial pattern of abundance, expression, and/or activity of one or more biological targets across multiple sites in a sample. In particular, the biological targets comprise proteins, and the methods and assay systems do not depend on imaging techniques for the spatial information of the targets. The present disclosure provides methods and assay systems capable of high levels of multiplexing where reagents are provided to a biological sample in order to address tag the sites to which reagents are delivered; instrumentation capable of controlled delivery of reagents; and a decoding scheme providing a readout that is digital in nature.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides polynucleotide conjugates, methods, and assay systems for use in detecting the presence, absence, and/or amount of an analyte in a sample. Various polynucleotide conjugates, conjugate pairs, sets, libraries, and assay systems comprising the same are disclosed. In particular, methods and assay systems for antibody detection and analysis are provided. For example, assays capable of high levels of multiplexing are used for antibody detection and analysis in a biological sample, e.g., Lyme disease patient samples. The presently disclosed polynucleotide conjugates, methods, and assay systems can be used to provide sensitive and reliable diagnosis, even at early stages of a disease or condition. Use for monitoring disease progression and prognosis is also disclosed.
