- the creation of core-shell particles from dispersed colloidal matter can be accomplished by a multistep (layer-by-layer) strategy.
- the process involves step-wise adsorption of charged polymers or nanoparticles and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes onto colloidal particles, exploiting primarily electrostatic interactions for layer buildup.
- a shell applied by electrostratic physisorption is not desirable for bioanalytical assays because it is chemically unstable under changes of assay conditions, particularly salt concentration, and promotes non-specific adsorption and denaturation of charged biomolecules; the particles described in this prior art reference are unsuitable in connection with the assay formats contemplated herein.
- the present invention provides methods, compositions and processes relating to the implementation of bioanalytical assay procedures for multiplexed molecular interaction analysis.
- the processes of the invention employ a multiplicity of encoded magnetic particles, distinguishable on the basis of their encoding. Such particles display one or more binding agents which are capable of interacting with one or more specific analytes upon coming into contact such particles.

- the fabrication of application-specific bead arrays may involve multiple processes in a multi-step sequence which may be automated using existing liquid handling technology and laboratory automation.
- the process described herein and referred to as random encoded array detection (“READ”) includes the fabrication of random encoded arrays as well as the use of such arrays in bioassays, including assays involving multiplexed molecular interaction analysis, including but not limited to the interaction of analyte and binding agent molecules, as exemplified by DNA and protein analysis.
- Random encoded arrays, as described herein, as well as in U.S. Patent No. 6,251,691 overcome many of the shortcomings associated with processes employing multi-step sequences.
- analyte and binding agent refer to molecules involved in binding interactions.
- analyte and binding agent may include DNA or RNA fragments (e.g., oligonucleotide), aptamers, peptides, and proteins, antigens and small organic molecules.
- binding of these fragments to their complementary sequences is analyzed.
- binding interactions between ligands and receptors are analyzed.
- particles refers to colloidal particles and beads. The term “particle” is also used in connection with the encoded particles and magnetic particles of the invention.
- magnetic particle refers to a particle possessing a permanent or induced dipole moment.
- Figure 1 provides a schematic overview of the functional components and process flow by which custom bead arrays may be prepared and used in performing multiplexed biomolecular analysis according to the present invention.
- the array is prepared by employing separate batch processes to produce application-specific substrates (e.g., chip at the wafer scale), to produce beads that are encoded and functionalized (e.g., at the scale of ⁇ 10 ⁇ 8 beads/100 ⁇ l of suspension) or to produce beads that are encoded, magnetic and functionalized.
- the beads subjected to respective quality control (QC) steps prior to array assembly, such as the determination of morphological and electrical characteristics.
- QC quality control
- QC steps may include optical inspection, ellipsometry and electrical transport measurements.
- LEAPS in conjunction with the process described in PCT/US97/08159 may be used for rapid assembly of dense arrays on a designated area on the substrate within the same fluidic phase, avoiding problems contributing to spot-to-spot as well as chip-to-chip variability without the need for retooling or process redesign.
- the bead array format permits chip-independent characterization of beads as well as optimization of assay conditions.
- multiple bead arrays can be formed simultaneously in discrete fluid compartments maintained on the same chip. Once formed, these multiple bead arrays may be used for concurrent processing of multiple samples.
- the integration of LEAPS with microfluidics produces a self-contained, miniaturized, optically programmable platform for parallel protein and DNA analysis.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,251,691 and PCT/US97/08159 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- chemical encoding may be accomplished by staining beads with sets of optically distinguishable tags, such as those containing one or more fluorophore dyes spectrally distinguishable by excitation wavelength, emission wavelength, excited-state lifetime or emission intensity.
- the optically distinguishable tags made be used to stain beads in specified ratios, as disclosed, for example, in Fulwyler, U.S. Patent No. 4,717,655.
- Staining may also be accomplished by swelling of particles in accordance with methods known to those skilled in the art, (Molday, Dreyer, Rembaum & Yen, J. Mol Biol 64, 75-88 (1975); L. Bangs, "Uniform Latex Particles, Seragen Diagnostics, 1984].
- up to twelve types of beads were encoded by swelling and bulk staining with two colors, each individually in four intensity levels, and mixed in four nominal molar ratios. Combinatorial color codes for exterior and interior surfaces is disclosed in International Application No.
- Beads are functionalized by binding agent molecules attached thereto, the molecule including DNA (oligonucleotides) or RNA fragments, peptides or proteins, aptamers and small organic molecules in accordance processes known in the art, e.g., with one of several coupling reactions of the known art (G. T. Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques (Academic Press, 1996); L. Ilium, P. D. E. Jones, Methods in Enzymology 112, 67-84 (1985).
- the functionalized beads have binding agent molecules (e.g., DNA, RNA or protein) covalently bound to the beads. Beads may be stored in a buffered bulk suspension until needed.
- Functionalization typically requires one-step or two-step reactions which may be performed in parallel using standard liquid handling robotics and a 96-well format to covalently attach any of a number of desirable functionalities to designated beads, as illustrated in Figure 2.
- beads of core-shell architecture will be used, the shell composed in the form of a thin polymeric blocking layer whose preferred composition is selected; and functionalization performed in accordance with the targeted assay application, as known in the art.
- Samples may be drawn for automated QC measurements. Each batch of beads provides material for hundreds of thousands of chips so that chip-to-chip variations are minimized.
- Substrates used in the present invention may be patterned in accordance with the interfacial patterning methods of LEAPS, by for example, patterned growth of oxide or other dielectric materials to create a desired configuration of impedance gradients in the presence of an applied AC electric field. Patterns may be designed so as to produce a desired configuration of AC field-induced fluid flow and corresponding particle transport. Substrates may be patterned on a wafer scale by invoking semiconductor processing technology, as illustrated in Figure 3.
- substrates may be compartmentalized by depositing a thin film of a UV-patternable, optically transparent polymer to affix to the substrate a desired layout of fiuidic conduits and compartments to confine fluid in one or several discrete compartments, thereby accommodating multiple samples on a given substrate.
- the bead array is prepared by providing a first planar electrode that is substantially parallel to a second planar electrode ("sandwich" configuration) with the two electrodes being separated by a gap and containing an electrolyte solution.
- the surface or the interior of the second planar electrode is patterned with the interfacial patterning method.
- Encoded and functionalized beads are introduced into the gap.
- the beads form a random encoded array on the second electrode (e.g., "chip”).
- an array of beads may be formed on a light-sensitive electrode ("chip”).
- the sandwich configuration described above is also used with a planar light sensitive electrode and another planar electrode.
- the two electrodes are separated by a gap and contain an electrolyte solution.
- the functionalized and encoded beads are introduced into the gap.
- the beads form an array on the light-sensitive electrode.
- the application-specific bead arrays useful in the present invention may be produced by picking aliquots of designated encoded beads from individual reservoirs in accordance with the specified array composition and "pooled"; aliquots of pooled suspension are dispensed onto selected substrate (e.g., chips) in a manner preventing the initial fusion of aliquots. Aliquots form a multiplicity of planar random subarrays of encoded beads, each subarray representing beads drawn from a distinct pool and the physical array layout uniquely corresponding to the identity of aliquots drawn from pooled bead populations.
- Planar arrays or assemblies of encoded beads on a substrate which are chemically or physically encoded may be used.
- spatial encoding may also be added to increase the number of assays that may be conducted.
- Spatial encoding for example, can be accomplished within a single fluid phase in the course of array assembly using LEAPS to assemble planar bead arrays in any desired configuration in response to alternating electric fields and/or in accordance with patterns of light projected onto the substrate.
- LEAPS creates lateral gradients in the impedance of the interface between silicon chip and solution to modulate the electrohydrodynamic forces that mediate array assembly. Electrical requirements are modest: low AC voltages of typically less than 10V PP are applied across a fluid gap of typically 100 ⁇ m between two planar electrodes.
- This assembly process is rapid and it is optically programmable: arrays containing thousands of beads are formed within seconds under electric field.
- the formation of multiple subarrays can also occur in multiple fluid phases maintained on a compartmentalized chip surface.
- the multiplexed assays of the present invention may also be performed using encoded beads that are assembled, but not in an array, on the substrate surface. For example, by spotting bead suspensions into multiple regions of the substrate and allowing beads to settle under gravity, assemblies of beads can be formed on the substrate. In contrast to the bead arrays formed by LEAPS, these assemblies generally assume low-density, disorder configurations. However, the combination of spatial and color encoding attained by spotting mixtures of chemically encoded beads into a multiplicity of discrete positions on the substrate still provides a degree of multiplexing that is sufficient for certain biological assays. Binding interaction between the binding agent on those beads and an analyte may be performed either before or after the encoded array is assembled on the substrate.
- the bead array may be formed after the assay, subsequent to which an assay image and a decoding image may be taken of the array.

- the method of the present invention has been used to fabricate arrays composed of beads displaying oligonucleotides as well as DNA fragments (e.g., up to ⁇ 1,000 bases in length). Strands were biotinylated at multiple positions by nick-translation and were attached to streptavidin-functionalized beads (M-280, Dynal, Oslo, NO). Arrays were formed using an AC voltage of 800 Hz at 10V PP .
- a looped probe design in Figure 16 takes advantage of fluorescence energy transfer to obviate the need for labeled target.
- the probe in Figure 16 assumes two different states of fluorescence in the closed loop and open loop configurations, but in confrast to the molecular beacon contains a portion of its binding motif within the stem structure to permit molecular control of stringency in competitive hybridization assays.
- Figure 17 displays a pair of assay and decoding images recorded from a single random array in a multiplexed sandwich immunoassay.

- pAb* Cy5.5-labeled secondary antibodies
- the on-chip immunoassay was performed by adding 300 ⁇ l of sample with 7 nM cytokines in assay buffer (20 mM NaPi pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mg/ml BSA) to the bead array immobilized on the chip, and allowing the reaction to proceed at 37°C for one hour.
- the buffer was replaced by adding 12 nM solution of labeled secondary antibodies in assay buffer. After one hour of incubation at 37°C, fresh buffer was added on top of the chip and image acquisition was performed.
- the decoding image Figure 17B shows five types of beads in a false-color display with the same encoding pattern as that of Figure 10. All beads are of the same size (5.5 ⁇ m diameter); the apparent difference in the size of beads of different types in the decoding image is an artifact reflecting different internal bead staining levels and "blooming" during CCD recording of the decoding image.
- Comparison (using the image analysis methods disclosed herein) of the decoding image with the assay image in Figure 14A reveals that active beads, of yellow and bright green types, captured TNF- ⁇ and IL-6, respectively.
- This assay protocol has been extended to the following set of twelve cytokines: IL-l ⁇ , IL-1B, IL- 2, IL-4, IL-6, TGF-Bl, IL-12, EGF, GM-CSF, M-CSF, MCP-1 and TNF-.
- the on-chip immunoassay requires no additional washing other than changing reagent solutions between assay steps.
- Comparison between assay and decoding images shows that two different cytokines were present in the sample, namely IL-6 and TNF- ⁇ .
- the pre-formed arrays described in this example also permit the determination of affinity constants in a manner analogous to the analysis described in Example 6.
- Aptamers may be selected from large combinatorial libraries for their high binding affinities to serum proteins (L. Gold, B. Polisky, O. Uhlenbeck, M. Yarus, Annu. Rev.
- Random encoded arrays of aptamer-functionalized beads would serve to monitor levels of serum proteins; correlations in binding patterns on the array (see also Example 10) may serve as a phenotype of disease states.

- DNA and corresponding proteins can be used to analyze the gene and gene product within the same fluid sample. This has been demonstrated for a combination of immunoassay and DNA hybridization. For example, a mixed array composed of beads functionalized with anti- cytokine monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and with oligonucleotides was produced. Two sequential assays were performed on this single chip. First, an immunoassay was performed in accordance with the protocol described in Example 10. Following completion of the on- chip immunoassay, image is acquired and the DNA analyte was added to the hybridization buffer (2x SSC, lx Denhardt's) at a final concentration of 20 nM and allowed to react at 37°C for 1 hr. Fresh hybridization buffer was added to the chip and image acquisition was performed to record of the additional hybridization assay.
- the hybridization buffer (2x SSC, lx Denhardt's
- the present invention includes a model that is developed to analyze multiplexed READ assays for such a system under the following assumptions: each of these reversible reactions is characterized by its own affinity constant; no reaction occurs between the bulk species; there is no interaction between the complexes formed on the surface. These assumptions can be relaxed, at the expense of increasing the complexity of modeling, by accounting for reactions in the bulk and between the surface species.
- the standard reaction-diffusion equation for single receptor-ligand pair formation [R. W. Glaser, Anal. Biochem. 213, 152- 161 (1993)]
- the first term on the right of Eq. (1) describes the association of ligands and receptors into complexes and involves of concentration of free sites on the surface.
- the second term describes the disassociation of complexes by way of release of ligands, thereby freeing up receptor sites for further reaction. Since a maximum of (i x j) bimolecular complexes can form, there could be as many boundary conditions generated from the above equation.
- the ligand distribution has been calculated (from the model in Eq. (1)) for a reference set of two ligands and two types of receptors immobilized on two different sets of beads.
- the coaffinity matrix is assumed known for each ligand-receptor combination in the reference set; to investigate the detection of a third ligand, it is assumed here that diagonal elements of the 2x2 matrix, [Ky], are large compared to off-diagonal elements.
- FIG. 18A shows the reference case in which the concentrations and coaffinity matrix were set to the values shown in the accompanying table; the bead intensity was defined on a linear scale of 0 - 255, the latter representing the intensity of the brightest beads.
- Figure 18A shows the contribution of each ligand to the bead intensity. Due to the lower concentration of Li, the intensity of Bead 1 is less compared to Bead 2, cross-reactivities are essentially undetectable.
- assay image sequences may be recorded in a homogeneous assay format to document the evolution of a binding reaction and to determine kinetic data for each of the binding reactions occurring.
- Homogeneous binding assays may be performed in simple "sandwich" fiuidic cartridges permitting optical microscopic imaging of the bead array and permitting the introduction of an analyte solution into a chamber containing a random encoded array of beads. More generally, the array also may be exposed to an analyte or other reaction mixtures under conditions of controlled injection of fluid aliquots or continuous flow of reactants or buffer.
- Figure 19A displays stages in an adsorption-desorption cycle involving solution-borne analytes and a bead array immobilized at the bottom of a "sandwich" reaction chamber.
- the first panel depicts the initiation of the adsorption process; the second panel depicts the state of the reactor close to equilibrium when most of the beads have reached equilibrium; the last panel depicts the state of the reactor under the desorption cycle in which ligand-free fluid is injected and adsorbed molecules desorb from the bead surface.
- Figure 19B displays the adsorption-desorption kinetics of a single receptor-single ligand system obtained by numerical solution of a reaction-diffusion system for a single type of receptor-ligand reaction; two cases of different concentrations of ligand are shown. Parameters used in the simulation are listed in the accompanying Table.
- reaction kinetics in an array format will enable several approaches to enhancing the specificity of receptor-ligand or binding agent-analyte interactions in complex mixtures. For example, temperature programming may be invoked to enhance the specificity of DNA hybridization reactions.
- stringency of conditions applied to a hybridization reaction may be varied while the array response is being monitored; for example, hybridization may be conducted in a hybridization buffer under conditions leading to excess "non-specific" binding; specificity is enhanced by switching to a wash buffer of increasing stringency while monitoring the array response.
- Figure 20 illustrates the integration of a sequence of steps in a miniaturized format for multiplexed genotyping using a single chip with multiple compartments.
- cells are captured from a patient sample by affinity selection using functionalized magnetic beads, cells are lysed electrically or chemically in a first compartment, and genomic DNA is captured to the surface of a multiplicity of magnetic beads by non-specific binding; next, beads are collected by magnetic force into a second compartment which is in fiuidic contact with the first compartment, within which the beads and DNA are washed with desired buffers; next, beads are further transferred to a location where PCR is performed using bead-coupled DNA as a template; multiple PCR strategies known in the art are available for this step (F.
- PCR products released into are captured by hybridization to a pre-assembled random encoded array displaying binding agents that are specific to different polymorphism targeted by the PCR amplification.
- encoded magnetic particles in conjunction with the optical programmability of LEAPS confers the ability to form reversibly immobilized arrays and to conduct programmable multi-step assay sequences under conditions in which beads are used in suspension when this is most favorable, for example to enhance reaction kinetics, and arrays are formed in real-time when this is most favorable, for example to provide a highly parallel format for imaging detection and assay read-out.
- a pool of encoded magnetic beads each bead type displaying a gene-specific probe, is introduced to an mRNA pool, and mRNA molecules are hybridized to their corresponding beads; next, on-bead reverse transcription (RT) is performed using bead-attached mRNA as template [E. Horenes, L. Korsnes, US 005759820]; next mRNA is released from the beads; next beads are directed to the surface of a custom-designed chip and a cDNA bead array is formed using LEAPS.
- RT on-bead reverse transcription
- Such an array could serve to display binding agents in a gene profiling experiment using another set of mRNA as the target.
- the cDNA array could be analyzed for its own expression by applying a pool of labeled DNA binding agents to profile the genes of interest within the array.

- Genomic DNA target fragments (40ng) are added to the PCR mix just prior to initiating extension. Under these conditions, ten cycles of amplification suffice to produce sufficient bead- anchored extension product using a Perkin Elmer 9600 thermal cycler, a temperature cycle consisting of denaturation (30s at 90 C), annealing (30s at 55 C), and extension (20s at 72 C). Following completion of the extension reaction, beads typically are washed four times by centrifugation in IX TE buffer.
- each reacion compartment polymerase was injected along with a set of one or more primer pairs designed to select regions within particle-anchored first extension products, each compartment receiving a unique set of such primer pairs. Concurrent amplification of bead-anchored fragments under temperature cycling is allowed to occur, thereby producing, in each compartment, a set of specific amplicons as directed by the corresponding primer sets admitted into the compartment.

- assay conditions may be chosen so as to favor the formation of clusters. That is, the magnetic nanoparticles of the invention acting as multi-dentate "ligands", mediate "agglutination" of the encoded particles of the invention into a cluster of the encoded and magnetic of particles of the invention.
- Application of a strong magnetic field typically producing magnetization in excess of 1000 Gauss, permits separation of these clusters from solution into an expanded assembly of isolated clusters.
