diagnostics biomarker detection application
Overview
Peptide-based diagnostics use peptide probes, arrays, and biomarkers for disease detection and monitoring.
Approaches
- Peptide arrays: High-throughput antibody profiling
- Peptide biomarkers: Circulating peptide fragments as disease indicators
- Aptamer-peptide conjugates: Enhanced capture and detection
- Mass spec proteomics: Peptide fingerprinting
Examples
BNP/NT-proBNP for heart failure, PSA-derived peptides for prostate cancer, and amyloid-beta peptides for Alzheimer disease.
Clinical Significance
Peptide diagnostics enable early disease detection, treatment monitoring, and precision medicine approaches.
