Over the past two decades there have been tremendous advances in our understanding of tumor immunology, which have in turn led to new and exciting immunology-based therapeutics. However, further research is needed into the dynamics and regulation of the immune response in the tumor microenvironment in order to achieve the full potential of these agents in treating all cancer patients. Defining the role of cytokines, chemokines, and other soluble mediators will be essential to this endeavor. This chapter describes, in detail, the technical protocol and applicability of LEGENDplex™ bead-based multiplex assays in quantifying these critical signaling molecules.

Article Synopsis
- Magnetic bead-assisted extraction technology was developed for analyzing 13 bile acid profiles in human serum, aiming to automate mass spectrometry processes.
- A validated method involving liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) demonstrated strong analytical performance and stability, with recovery rates for bile acids within acceptable limits.
- The new method showed comparable results to traditional protein precipitation methods and holds promise for routine clinical diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).

The isolation of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), including those secreted by pathological cells, with high efficiency and purity is highly demanded for research studies and practical applications. Conventional sEV isolation methods suffer from low yield, presence of contaminants, long-term operation and high costs. Bead-assisted platforms are considered to be effective for trapping sEVs with high recovery yield and sufficient purity for further molecular profiling.

Traditional solid-phase extraction (SPE) LC-MS/MS is limited by high costs, turnaround times, and procedural complexity, which limited the usage in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish a robust UPLC-MS/MS method with automated magnetic-bead-assisted sequential extraction (MBASE) technology to simultaneously measure Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A Waters TQ-XS triple quadrupole mass spectrometer and Acquity UPLC Protein BEH C4 column were used.

Food allergy remains a public health, business, and regulatory challenge. Risk analysis (RA) and risk management (RM) of food allergens are of great importance and analysis for food allergens is necessary for both. The current workhorse techniques for allergen analysis (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA] and real-time polymerase chain reaction) exhibit recognized challenges including variable and antibody specific responses and detection of species DNA rather than allergen protein, respectively.

Tremendous interest in research of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) is driven by the participation of vesicles in a number of biological processes in the human body. Being released by almost all cells of the body, sEVs present in complex bodily fluids form the so-called intercellular communication network. The isolation and profiling of individual fractions of sEVs secreted by pathological cells are significant in revealing their physiological functions and clinical importance.
