Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for detecting a binding interaction between a binding reagent and an analyte under equilibrium binding conditions. The binding interaction can be detected by the formation of an interaction identification moiety. The interaction identification moiety can be detected even after the binding reagent dissociates from the analyte.
Claims21
A method of forming a binding profile, comprising:
- (a) binding affinity reagents to analytes of a plurality of analytes, wherein each of the affinity reagents is individually joined with an affinity reagent identifier moiety, and wherein each of the analytes is individually joined with a unique analyte identifier moiety;
- (b) for each analyte bound to an affinity reagent, coupling together the affinity reagent identifier moiety and the unique analyte identifier moiety, thereby forming an interaction identification moiety comprising an analyte-specific code from the unique analyte identifier moiety;
- (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) at least once with differing affinity reagents;
- (d) detecting for each interaction identification moiety from steps (b) and (c) the analyte-specific code;
- and
- (e) for each analyte of the plurality of analytes, forming a binding profile for the analyte, wherein the binding profile comprises a presence or absence of a detected analyte-specific code for the analyte for each of the at least two differing affinity reagents.

A system, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of vessels, wherein each vessel comprises a plurality of particles, wherein the plurality of particles is attached to a plurality of analytes, wherein each analyte of the plurality of analytes is co-localized with an analyte identifier moiety on a particle of the plurality of particles, wherein each analyte identifier moiety comprises a unique analyte-specific code;
- (b) a library of affinity reagents, wherein the library of affinity reagents comprises two or more pluralities of affinity reagents, wherein each plurality of affinity reagents of the two or more pluralities of affinity reagents differs with respect to binding specificity from any other plurality of affinity reagents of the two or more pluralities of affinity reagents, and wherein each affinity reagent of the library of affinity reagents is attached to an affinity reagent identifier moiety;
- (c) a detection device, wherein the detection device is configured to receive a plurality of interaction identification moieties, and wherein the detection device is further configured to detect for each interaction identification moiety of the plurality of interaction identification moieties an analyte-specific code;
- and
- (d) a fluid transfer device, wherein the fluid transfer device is configured to deliver a plurality of affinity reagents from the library of affinity reagents to a vessel of the plurality of vessels, and wherein the fluid transfer device is further configured to deliver the plurality of interaction identification moieties from a vessel of the plurality of vessels to the detection device.
