    Abstract: Systems and methods for low-cost point-of-care immunoassay are provided. The system comprises an emitter, two optical interference filters, a microscope slide, a photodiode detector, a circuit, and a measuring unit. The detector is placed upon the second filter, the slide, the first filter, and then the emitter. The emitter comprises non-organic light emitting diodes (LEDs) or organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) that emits light of a first color. The slide is spotted with biofluid from a patient. Biomarkers in the biofluid is bound with immobilized fluorophores that emit light of a second color when stimulated by the light of the first color. The first and second filters band-pass the light of the first and second colors, respectively. The detector detects light of the second color. The current outputted from the detector is converted into a relatively-large output voltage by a circuit. A measuring unit measures the ramp time of the output voltage. The ramp time is to be used to determine the concentration of the fluorophores, which in turn is related to the concentration of the biomarkers.

    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for the rapid detection of HPV types, such as HPV 16- and HPV18-specific antibodies, in patient samples that contain antibodies. For example, patients with head and neck cancers have detectable antibodies to multiple early genes derived from HPV. These antibodies also are useful as biomarkers for HPV-associated malignancies and premalignant states, for diagnosis and prognosis, and for methods of assessing treatment and cancer-recurrence prediction.
