METHODS Special Issue: Multiplexing Protocol for Evaluating Biological Interactions with Nanoparticles

A new multiplexing protocol offers guidelines for measuring immunomodulatory effects of nanoparticles used in clinical applications

Nanoparticles have the potential to deliver more targeted therapies to the exact location in the body where they’re most needed. To do this, it is essential to understand how these foreign particles interact with a patient’s body. A recent publication in the Methods journal is a big step forward, offering a protocol for evaluating the body’s immune response to nanotechnology.

Scientists from Texas A&M University and Bio-Rad Laboratories designed parameters for evaluating the immunomodulatory effects of nano- and microparticles using multiplex biomarker analysis. To detect biomarkers of interest, the researchers utilized Advances in Bead-Based Biomarker Detection [Methods xMAP® Issue]
