Abstract
Immunofluorescence assays are extensively used for the detection of disease-associated biomarkers within patient samples for direct diagnosis. Unfortunately, these 2D microarrays suffer from low repeatability and fail to attain the low limits of detection (LODs) required to accurately discern disease progression for clinical monitoring. While three-dimensional microarrays with increased biorecognition molecule density stand to circumvent these limitations, their viscous component materials are not compatible with current microarray fabrication protocols. Herein, we introduce a platform for 3D microarray bioprinting, wherein a two-step printing approach enables the high-throughput fabrication of immunosorbent hydrogels. The hydrogels are composed entirely of cross-linked proteins decorated with clinically relevant capture antibodies. Compared to two-dimensional microarrays, these proteinaceous microarrays offer 3-fold increases in signal intensity. When tested with clinically relevant biomarkers, ultrasensitive single-plex and multiplex detection of interleukin-6 (LOD 0.3 pg/mL) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (LOD 1 pg/mL) is observed. When challenged with clinical samples, these hydrogel microarrays consistently discern elevated levels of interleukin-6 in blood plasma derived from patients with systemic blood infections. Given their easy-to-implement, high-throughput fabrication, and ultrasensitive detection, these three-dimensional microarrays will enable better clinical monitoring of disease progression, yielding improved patient outcomes.
