Multiplexed Protein Array for Immunologists

Assay 1,631 Antibodies in Under 8 Hours!
The RayBio® Immunome Protein Arrays are multiplex protein immunoassays for numerous research applications. Correctly folded, functional proteins are immobilized onto a solid glass slide surface. The slides can then be probed with serum or small molecules and used in protein-antibody studies, small-molecule inhibition of kinase studies, protein-protein studies, methylation studies or DNA binding studies. Our main immunome array product offering contains 1,631 proteins. Smaller custom arrays are also available.

Each 75mm x 25mm glass slide is spotted with 4 identical protein arrays (also called “subarrays”), each with 1631 correctly folded and functional spotted proteins! Each protein is attached to the streptavidin-coated slide exclusively via a biotinylated affinity tag, specifically the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domain of the E. coli acetyl CoA carboxylase. This affinity tag was chosen because the BCCP domain must be folded into its native 3-dimensional structure in order to become biotinylated. If the expressed protein mis-folds the BCCP tag will also mis-fold, preventing biotinylation. If the protein folds correctly then folding of the BCCP tag should be unhindered and biotinylation will result. This property allows only correctly folded proteins to be bound to the slide.


Research Applications

  • Screening protein-antibody interactions 
  • Performing small-molecule-kinase inhibition experiments 
  • Screening protein-protein interactions 
  • Performing DNA-binding experiments Performing methylation assays

immunoLink Therapies-Initial Products

Feeling and performing your best depends on balanced immunity and stem cell vitality

Your current investment in exercise, healthy diet and supplements are aiming you towards what we call the immunoLink sweet spot. If you have hit the bull’s eye, you would be seeking ways to stay there, because this is where you feel awesomely great and are most productive. If you have never been there, now is the time.

Illness, injury and medical procedures push you from the spot, but if you are near or on it, your recovery will be faster and more complete. The far reaches of the immunoLink Spectrum represent a cold wasteland of misery and despair.

How do we Know These Solutions Work?-Our Clients have autoimmune and degenerative diseases or are seeking peak performance. Prior to customizing their treatment strategies, we measure the levels of immune/inflammatory response, oxidative stress, allergens and stem cell health factors in our Clients' blood serum. The levels of these factors are compared with healthy controls. We then re-test after 6 months of treatments. For many the improvement in health and performance are startling. This is confirmed in the re-tests.
Stem-Kine and StemTrophin are central to our treatment strategies. Stem-Kine boosts the levels of circulating blood stem cells. These cells differentiate into immune factors and red blood cells. This boosts oxygen delivery and immunity resulting in greater endurance, mental acuity and cardiovascular health. StemTrophin activates mesenchymal stem cell migration. These cells are essential for immune suppression and then initiating the process of repair and regeneration at the sites of injury or degeneration. To learn more or order by phone, please call me directly at 612-801-1007 or you can also inquire via my e-mail: pshuster@neuromics.com.

Treating Autism-Immune System Balancing and Stem Cell Activating Therapies

Linking the Immune System with Stem Cell Health to Treat ASD Children

We have been testing immune/inflammatory response, oxidative stress and growth factor/neurotrophin biomarkers in the blood sera of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We did this testing using our Quantibody Arrays.

The purpose of these tests were to establish a baseline for the state of these children's immune system and stem cell health. In this baseline testing, we found that all had high immune/inflammatory response, oxidative stress and low levels of the growth factors/neurotrophins needed for repairing and regenerated damaged cells/tissue (stem cell health).

We then treated these children with customized combinations of immune balancing and stem cell activating agents with the goal of showing that any improvement in ASD related symproms would be confirmed by positive modulations of biomarkers that are dysregulated in this disorder. We re-test at 6 months after initiation of the treatment plans.

The goal of our treatment strategies is to balance the immune system and activate the natural cell/tissue repair and regeneration (stem cell) processes. We call this the immunoLinkTM.

We are seeing improvement in the symptoms of the first 2 children recently retested and a marked improvement in the levels of their biomarkers. Here's data from one of the children. Note that key immune/inflammatory response markers have now moderated to the levels of healthy controls.

We are developing a website that will have a wealth of information to help parents determine treatment strategies for ASD Children. We are also making our treatment plans and strategies available to interested parents. The website ecosystem will be named immunoLinkTM Therapies.
In the meantime, should you want to investigate if we could help your child, do not hesitate to contact me e-mail: pshuster@neuromics.com or cell: 612-801-1007. Pete Shuster, CEO and Owner.

Immune System/Stem Cell Health and Aging

Looking, feeling and  performing your best depends on balanced immunity and stem cell vitality

As we age we encounter:
  • Slower healing
  • Longer recovery time from vigorous exercise
  • More general aches and pains
  • Longer recovery from illness
  • Wrinkled, dry and thinning skin
Why is that? What are the causes? Answers can be found by a better understanding of immune/inflammatory response and stem cell systems. As we age our immune system weakens or becomes dysregulated (autoimmunity) and our stem cell "bank balances" deplete. My friend and world class stem cell therapies expert, Dr. Neil Riordan, gives an excellent description of the process: Your Body’s Stem Cell Bank Account.

To oversimplify, the immune system is responsible for cleansing the body of pathogens, toxins, allergens and damaged tissues/cells. This creates a healthy environment for stem cells to repair and regenerate new, healthy cells and tissue. We call this process the immunoLinkTM.

immunoLink Therapies is a new company of mine slated to launch in the spring of 2015. Our goal is to slow the aging process by offering solutions that balance your immunity and increase your stem cell vitality. Our vanguard product (currently available) is Stem-Kine. It is a blood stem cell booster which increases the level of immune factors and red blood cells in your cardiovascular system. The result is faster healing/recovery and increased endurance via better oxygen delivery.
