Cell-surface proteomics using a droplet magnetic affinity workflow that profiles tiny, rare cell populations; promising for researchers studying cell-type markers.
Key Takeaways
- NanoMAPS performs magnetic bead-based affinity purification inside microliter droplets to profile cell surface proteins from only 100–500 isolated cells.
- Miniaturized droplet processing in nanoMAPS markedly increases surface protein recovery while reducing nonspecific intracellular contamination.
- Applying nanoMAPS to primary human and mouse immune cells reveals established and disease-associated cell-type-specific surface markers.
