METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DETECTING THE ACTIVATION STATE OF MULTIPLE PROTEINS IN SINGLE CELLS

摘要

The invention provides methods and compositions for simultaneously detecting the activation state of a plurality of proteins in single cells using flow cytometry. The invention further provides methods and compositions of screening for bioactive agents capable of coordinately modulating the activity of a plurality of proteins in single cells. The methods and compositions can be used to determine the protein activation profile of a cell for predicting or diagnosing a disease state, and for monitoring treatment of a disease state.
