Abstract:
Methods for imaging are described, including, but not limited to a method comprising: (1) contacting a sample being tested for the presence of one or more targets with one or more target-specific binding partners, wherein each target-specific binding partner is linked to a docking strand, and wherein target-specific binding partners of different specificity are linked to different docking strands, (2) optionally removing unbound target-specific binding partners, (3) contacting the sample with antigen-bound imager strands and antigen-specific binding partners linked (directly or indirectly) to optical labels, wherein the antigen-bound imager strands have complementarity to a docking strand, directly or indirectly, and wherein each antigen-specific binding partner is linked to one or more optical labels, and wherein antigen-specific binding partners of different specificity are linked to distinct optical labels, (4) optionally removing unbound antigen-bound imager strands and/or antigen-specific binding partners, (5) imaging the sample to detect bound labeled antigen-specific binding partners, (6) optionally removing/extinguishing signal from the optical labels, and (7) optionally repeating steps (1)-(7), or any subset thereof.
