We demonstrate quantitative multicolor three-dimensional (3D) subdiffraction imaging of the structural arrangement of fluorescent protein fusions in living Caulobacter crescentus bacteria. Given single-molecule localization precisions of 20-40 nm, a flexible locally weighted image registration algorithm is critical to accurately combine the super-resolution data with <10 nm error. Surface-relief dielectric phase masks implement a double-helix response at two wavelengths to distinguish two different fluorescent labels and to quantitatively and precisely localize them relative to each other in 3D.

Background: The immunoproteasome (IP) is the inducible form of the constitutive 20S proteasome upregulated in immune cells. The IP consists of 3 inducible β subunits (β1i - LMP2, β2i - MECL1, and β5i - LMP7), which generate MHC-I compatible peptides. IPs are induced by pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling, as well as oxidative stress signaling.

High-visual-resolution colorimetric immunoassay with attomolar sensitivity using kinetically controlled growth of Ag in AuAg nanocages and poly-enzyme-boosted tyramide signal amplification.

Colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (CELISAs) have long been used for protein biomarker detection in diagnostics. Unfortunately, as confined by the monochromatic nature of detection signals and the limited catalytic activity of enzymes, CELISAs suffer from poor visual resolution and low sensitivity, hindering their effectiveness for early diagnostics in resource-limited settings. Herein, we report an ultrasensitive, high-visual-resolution CELISA (named PE-TSA-AuAg Cage-CELISA) that combines kinetically controlled growth of Ag in AuAg nanocages with poly-enzyme-boosted tyramide signal amplification (PE-TSA), enabling visual semiquantitative detection of protein biomarkers at attomolar levels with the naked eye.

Patients with AML and measurable residual disease (MRD) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) may benefit from myeloablative conditioning (MAC) when feasible to reduce relapse risk. Fludarabine-Melphalan (FluMel) is a common reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen; however, data in MRD+ patients is sparse. We performed a retrospective review of AML patients who underwent their first HCT (2016-2021) without morphologic disease at City of Hope who had pre-transplant marrow evaluated for MRD using multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) and received radiation-based MAC or FluMel conditioning.
