Mass spectrometry (MS) used in proteomic approaches is able to detect hundreds of proteins in a single assay. Although undeniable high analytical power of MS, data acquired sometimes lead to confusing results, especially during a search of very selective, unique interactions in complex biological matrices. Here, we would like to show an example of such confusing data, providing an extensive discussion on the observed phenomenon. Our investigations focus on the interaction between the Zika virus NS3 protease, which is essential for virus replication. This enzyme is known for helping to remodel the microenvironment of the infected cells. Several reports show that this protease can process cellular substrates and thereby modify cellular pathways that are important for the virus. Herein, we explored some of the targets of NS3, clearly shown by proteomic techniques, as processed during infection. Unfortunately, we could not confirm the biological relevance of protein targets for viral infections detected by MS. Thus, although mass spectrometry is highly sensitive and useful in many instances, also being able to show directions where cell/virus interaction occurs, we believe that deep recognition of their biological role is essential to receive complete insight into the investigated process.

Abstract Aptamers, due to their small size, strong target affinity, and ease of chemical modification, are ideally suited for molecular detection technologies. Here, we describe successful use of aptamer technology in a consumer device for the detection of peanut antigen in food. The novel aptamer-based protein detection method is robust across a wide variety of food matrices and sensitive to peanut protein at concentrations as low as 12.5 ppm (37.5 µg peanut protein in the sample). Integration of the assay into a sensitive, stable, and consumer friendly portable device will empower users to easily and quickly assess the presence of peanut allergens in foods before eating. With most food reactions occurring outside the home, the type of technology described here has significant potential to improve lives for children and families.

AbstractThe ability to perform highly sensitive and multiplexed in situ protein analysis is crucial to advance our understanding of normal physiology and disease pathogenesis. To achieve this goal, here we develop an approach using cleavable biotin conjugated antibodies and cleavable fluorescent streptavidin (CFS). In this approach, protein targets are first recognized by the cleavable biotin labeled antibodies. Subsequently, CFS is applied to stain the protein targets. Though layer-by-layer signal amplification using cleavable biotin conjugated orthogonal antibodies and CSF, the protein detection sensitivity can be enhanced by at least 10 fold, compared with the existing methods. After imaging, the fluorophores and the biotins unbound to streptavidin are removed by chemical cleavage. The leftover streptavidin is blocked by biotin. Upon reiterative analysis cycles, a large number of different proteins with a wide range of expression levels can be unambiguously detected in individual cell in situ.
