The present disclosure is directed to methods and/or uses of oligonucleotide conjugates for assays and flow cytometry detections and related systems and/or kits. Certain methods are directed to a method for detecting one or more biological targets of a sample in a detection assay, comprising: providing a molecular probe, comprising a binding moiety and an oligonucleotide sequence, to a sample comprising one or more biological targets; binding the one or more biological targets with the binding moiety; providing a detectable component to the sample, wherein the detectable component comprises a signal generating moiety conjugated to an oligonucleotide sequence complementary to the oligonucleotide sequence of the molecular probe; hydridizing the oligonucleotide sequence of the target-bound molecular probe to the detectable component; and detecting a signal generated from the hydridized detectable component. Various other embodiments, applications etc. are disclosed herein.

Methods and/or use of oligonucleotide conjugates for assays and flow cytometry detections

The present disclosure provides reagent compounds, reactive biopolymeric compounds, and methods of making and using these materials for the rapid and efficient synthesis and purification of biopolymeric compounds at low cost. The materials and methods yield highly pure synthetic biopolymeric compounds, including synthetic oligonucleotides and polypeptides, and reduce or eliminate the need for toxic solvents in the synthetic process.

Reagents and methods for the highly-efficient synthesis and purification of biopolymers

The instant disclosure provides reagent compounds, and antibody and oligonucleotide reagents, for use in a variety of assays, including immunoassays and nucleic acid hybridizations. The reagent compounds comprise a bridging antigen or bridging oligonucleotide and a latent crosslinker moiety, such as a tyramide moiety. The bridging antigens are recognizable by the antibody of a corresponding antibody reagent with high affinity, and the bridging oligonucleotides are complementary to the oligonucleotide of a corresponding oligonucleotide reagent. The antibody reagents and oligonucleotide reagents also comprise a crosslinker activation agent, such as a peroxidase enzyme. Reaction of the reagent compounds with the crosslinker activation agent results in the amplification of signal in assays for target cellular markers, including cellular antigens and nucleic acids. Also provided are detectable antibodies specific for the bridging antigens, kits comprising the reagent compounds and antibody and oligonucleotide reagents, methods of signal amplification using the compounds and reagents of the disclosure, methods of preparation of the compounds and reagents, and compositions comprising the compounds and reagents.

The present disclosure provides high-performance immunoreagents for use in a variety of immunologic assays and other related techniques. The immunoreagents comprise a primary antibody and a bridging antigen, wherein the bridging antigen is recognized by a detectable secondary antibody with high affinity. Also provided are compositions comprising panels of immunoreagents specific for multiple different target antigens and compositions comprising pairs of primary immunoreagents and their complementary detectable secondary antibodies. The paired primary immunoreagents and secondary antibodies are useful in a variety of immunologic assays, particularly in highly multiplexed assays, where the structure of the bridging antigen is varied in tandem with variation in the detectable secondary antibody, such that a multiplicity of immunoreagents are provided that are capable of simultaneously detecting a multiplicity of target antigens in a single assay. Also provided are kits comprising the immunoreagents, methods of immunologic assay using the immunoreagents of the disclosure, and methods of preparation of the immunoreagents.
