Device and method for integrated diagnostics with multiple independent flow paths

Devices and methods for performing assays to determine the presence or quantity of a specific analyte of interest in a fluid sample. In devices according to this invention two separate flow paths are established sequentially in the device with a single user activation step. The first flow path delivers the analyte of interest (if present in the sample) and conjugate soluble binding reagents to the solid phase. If analyte is present, an analyte:conjugate complex is formed and immobilized. The volume of sample delivered by this first path is determined by the absorbent capacity of the solid phase, and not by the amount of sample added to the device, relieving the user from the necessity of measuring the sample. The sample / conjugate mixture is prevented from entering the second flow path because the capillarity and the surface energy of the second flow path prevent it from being wetted by this mixture. The second flow path allows a wash reagent to remove unbound conjugate and sample from the solid phase to the absorbant, and optionally to deliver detection reagents. The invention may be adapted to many assay formats including, sandwich immunoassays, colloidal gold, or sol particle assays, heterogeneous generic capture assays and competitive assays. In one embodiment, sandwich assays can be performed by immobilizing an analyte binding reagent on the solid phase, and drying a labeled analyte binding reagent in the first flow path. In a competitive assay embodiment, the first flow path would contain labeled analyte that is dissolved by the sample, and the analyte binding reagent is immobilized on the solid phase. In each of these embodiments, the assay can be further modified to run in a "generic capture" format, where the solid phase binding reagent is instead conjugated to a generic ligand such as biotin, and dried in the first flow path (either together or separately from the other assay reagents), and a generic ligand binding reagent (such as avidin) is immobilized on the solid phase. Another aspect of the present invention includes a subassembly for the immunoassay device that is comprised of a plastic housing and a means for delivering fluid and / or wash solution. This subassembly comprises a structure formed from a hydrophobic polymer selectively treated with a water insoluble surface active agent that has been applied as a solution in an organic solvent rendering portions of the surface hydrophilic. When the surface is contacted with an aqueous liquid, it flows only along the treated areas, creating a defined fluid flow path, thereby delivering sample / conjugate solutions to said solid phase.

Use of cytokines secreted by dendritic cells

A prerequisite of proteomics is the ability to quantify many selected proteins simultaneously. Fluorescent sandwich immunoassays on microarrays hold appeal for such studies, since equipment and antibodies are readily available, and assays are simple, scalable and reproducible. To attain adequate sensitivity and specificity, however, a general method of immunoassay amplification is required. Coupling of isothermal rolling circle amplification (RCA) to universal antibodies can be used for this purpose: RCA on a synthetic DNA circle is initiated by a complementary oligonucleotide attached to an anti-biotin antibody; single-stranded RCA product remains attached to the antibody, and is detected by hybridization of complementary, fluorescent oligonucleotides. 51 cytokines were measured simultaneously on microarrays with signal amplification by RCA with high specificity, femtomolar sensitivity and 4 log quantitative range. This cytokine microarray was used to measure secretion from human Dendritic cells (DCs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-(alpha). Rapid secretion of inflammatory cytokines such as MIP-1beta, IL-8, and IP-10 was induced by LPS. Eotaxin-2 and I-309 were found to be induced by LPS, and MDC, TARC, sIL-6R, and sTNF-RI were found to be induced by TNF-alpha. Since microarrays can accommodate ~1000 sandwich immunoassays of this type, a relatively small number of RCA microarrays appears to offer a tractable approach for proteomic surveys.
