ANTIGEN DETECTION USING PHOTOCLEAVABLE LABELS

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods of using photocleavable labels for multiplex and serial antigen detection. The methods comprise detecting the presence of photocleavable labels, which are conjugated through functional linkers to antigen-binding complexes, which in turn non-covalently bind to antigens. The presence of a photocleavable label is indicative of the presence of an antigen specifically or selectively bound by an antigen-binding complex. Also provided are apparatuses for using photocleavable labels for multiplex and serial antigen detection.
