Detection of dysregulated protein-association networks by high-throughput proteomics predicts cancer vulnerabilities
Nature Biotechnology 35, 983 (2017). doi:10.1038/nbt.3955 Authors: John D Lapek, Patricia Greninger, Robert Morris, Arnaud Amzallag, Iulian Pruteanu-Malinici, Cyril H Benes & Wilhelm Haas The formation of protein complexes and the co-regulation of the cellular concentrations of proteins are essential mechanisms for cellular signaling and for maintaining homeostasis. Here we use isobaric-labeling multiplexed proteomics to analyze protein co-regulation and show that this allows the identification of protein–protein associations with high accuracy. We apply this 'interactome mapping by high-throughput quanti...

Single-cell deep phenotyping of IgG-secreting cells for high-resolution immune monitoring
Nature Biotechnology 35, 977 (2017). doi:10.1038/nbt.3964 Authors: Klaus Eyer, Raphaël C L Doineau, Carlos E Castrillon, Luis Briseño-Roa, Vera Menrath, Guillaume Mottet, Patrick England, Alexei Godina, Elodie Brient-Litzler, Clément Nizak, Allan Jensen, Andrew D Griffiths, Jérôme Bibette, Pierre Bruhns & Jean Baudry Studies of the dynamics of the antibody-mediated immune response have been hampered by the absence of quantitative, high-throughput systems to analyze individual antibody-secreting cells. Here we describe a simple microfluidic system, DropMap, in which single cells are comp...
