Description:
BIOMARKER SIGNATURES OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND USES THEREOF

Field of Invention The present invention relates to biomarkers for determining a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state, as well as signatures and arrays thereof and methods for use of the same.

Background of the invention

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe, chronic systemic autoimmune disease with heterogeneous presentation (1 , 2). The disease is characterized by alternating periods of flares and remission in a yet unpredictable manner. The treatment of SLE is so far restricted to dealing with the symptoms, essentially trying to reduce and minimize the effects of the flares (3). Accumulation of damage is a function of disease activity over time, side- effects of treatment and/or comorbid conditions, and is linked to morbidity and mortality. Hence, novel means to predict, detect, and monitor the onset, severity, and response of flares, especially to the level of renal activity, would thus be essential to therapeutic regime choice and treatment modifications, as well as prognosis (2-4). Currently, disease activity is assessed using indices, such as SLEDAI-2K, which is based on 24 descriptors in 9 organs (studied over 10 or 30 days) (5). Monitoring of the renal involvement in SLE is often dependent on microscopic evaluation of urine, which has been shown to be associated with large methodological shortcomings (6). So far, renal biopsy has been the gold standard for assessing disease activity and renal involvement, but the need for rapid, minimally invasive methods, such as blood-based tests, is evident.

Historically, mainly single serological biomarkers, such as C1q, C3, C4, IL-6, TNF-a, and various autoantibodies, have been explored for detecting and monitoring flares, but the performance has varied and is generally low (4, 7-11 ). In more recent years, attempts have therefore been made to decipher panels of biomarkers, better reflecting SLE and SLE disease activity ( 2-17). As for example, Li and colleagues used 30-plex antigen arrays to delineate candidate serum autoantibody clusters that attempted to distinguish lupus patients with more severe disease activity (18). Further, Bauer and colleagues pre-validated a 3-plex panel of serum chemokines (IP-10, MCP-1 , and MIP3B) for disease activity using conventional antibody microarrays (16, 17). More recently, high-performing recombinant antibody micro- and nano-array set-ups have been used for deciphering multiplexed serum and urine biomarkers associated with SLE (19, 20) (Nordstrom et al, submitted; Delfani et al, 2016, Lupus 26(4):373-387). In those projects, the authors explored the use of the immune system as a specific and sensitive sensor for SLE in an approach denoted clinical immunoproteomics (21 ) by targeting mainly immunoregulatory proteins. The results showed that multiplexed candidate serum (and urine) biomarkers reflecting SLE, SLE phenotype and SLE disease activity could be deciphered.

However, there remains are continuing need to identify biomarkers and biomarker signatures for disease activity in order to rapidly identify active (flaring) and passive (remissive/non-flaring) disease states to allow quick treatment of flares and withdrawal of therapy during non-flares to minimise the damage caused by non-treatment of the active disease and overtreatment (treatment administration during non-active SLE).

Summary of the invention

The present invention stems from a study of serum protein expression profiling performed using SLE samples collected during flare and remission. A re-optimized recombinant antibody microarray platform, displaying improved performances and targeting a larger set of immunoregulatory proteins (19) (Delfani et al, 2016, supra) was applied. The results showed that condensed, high-performing serum biomarker signatures reflecting disease activity could be deciphered from crude serum samples. Accordingly, the first aspect the invention provides a method for determining a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in a subject measuring the presence and/or amount in a test sample of one or more biomarker selected from the group defined in Table A, wherein the presence and/or amount in the one more test sample of the one or more biomarker(s) selected from the group defined in Table A is indicative of a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state. Alternative or additionally the method comprises or consists of the steps of: a) providing a sample to be tested; and

b) measuring the presence and/or amount in the test sample of one or more biomarker(s) selected from the group defined in Table A; wherein the presence and/or amount in the test sample of the one or more biomarker(s) selected from the group defined in Table A is indicative of the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in the subject.

Thus, the invention provides biomarkers and biomarker signatures for determining a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in a subject.

The term "Systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state" may mean or include (i) the presence or absence of SLE (e.g., discriminating active SLE from non-SLE, non- active SLE from non-SLE and/or highly active SLE from non-SLE), and (ii) the activity of SLE (e.g., discriminating active SLE from non-active SLE, and/or discriminating highly- active SLE from non-active SLE). Thus, in one embodiment, the method is for diagnosing active SLE (e.g., an SLE flare) in a subject.

Preferably, the individual is a human, but may be any mammal such as a domesticated mammal (preferably of agricultural or commercial significance including a horse, pig, cow, sheep, dog and cat).

For the avoidance of doubt, test samples from more than one disease state may be provided in step (a), for example,≥2,≥3, >4,≥5, >6 or >7 different disease states. Step (a) may provide at least two test samples, for example,≥3, >4, >5, >6, >7,≥8, >9, >10, >15,≥20, ≥25,≥50 or≥100 test samples. Where multiple test samples are provided, they may be of the same type (e.g., all serum or urine samples) or of different types (e.g., serum and urine samples).

Alternatively or additionally the method further comprises the steps of: c) providing a control sample from an individual with a different systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state to the test subject; and d) measuring the presence and/or amount in the control sample of the one or more biomarkers measured in step (b); wherein the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state is identified in the event that the presence and/or amount in the test sample of the one or more biomarkers measured in step (b) is different from the presence and/or amount in the control sample.

For the avoidance of doubt, control samples from more than one disease state may be provided in step (c), for example,≥2,≥3, >4, >5,≥6 or≥7 different disease states. Step (c) may provide at least two control samples, for example,≥3,≥4, >5,≥6,≥7,≥8,≥9,≥10,≥15, ≥20,≥25,≥50 or≥100 control samples. Where multiple control samples are provided, they may be of the same type (e.g., all serum or urine samples) or of different types (e.g., serum and urine samples). Preferably the test samples types and control samples types are matched/corresponding.

By "is different to the presence and/or amount in a control sample" we mean or include the presence and/or amount of the one or more biomarker in the test sample differs from that of the one or more control sample (or to predefined reference values representing the same). Preferably the presence and/or amount in the test sample differs from the presence or amount in the one or more control sample (or mean of the control samples) by at least ±5%, for example, at least ±6%, ±7%, ±8%, ±9%, ±10%, ±11%, ±12%, ±13%, ±14%, ±15%, ±16%, ±17%, ±18%, ±19%, ±20%, ±21%, ±22%, ±23%, ±24%, ±25%, ±26%, ±27%, ±28%, ±29%, ±30%, ±31%, ±32%, ±33%, ±34%, ±35%, ±36%, ±37%, ±38%, ±39%, ±40%, ±41%, ±42%, ±43%, ±44%, ±45%, ±41%, ±42%, ±43%, ±44%, ±55%, ±60%, ±65%, ±66%, ±67%, ±68%, ±69%, ±70%, ±71 %, ±72%, ±73%, ±74%, ±75%, ±76%, ±77%, ±78%, ±79%, ±80%, ±81%, ±82%, ±83%, ±84%, ±85%, ±86%, ±87%, ±88%, ±89%, ±90%, ±91%, ±92%, ±93%, ±94%, ±95%, ±96%, ±97%, ±98%, ±99%, ±100%, ±125%, ±150%, ±175%, ±200%, ±225%, ±250%, ±275%, ±300%, ±350%, ±400%, ±500% or at least ±1000% of the one or more control sample (e.g., the negative control sample).

Alternatively or additionally, the presence or amount in the test sample differs from the mean presence or amount in the control samples by at least >1 standard deviation from the mean presence or amount in the control samples, for example,≥1.5,≥2,≥3,≥4, >5,≥6,≥7,≥8, >9, >10,≥11 ,≥ 2,≥13,≥14 or≥15 standard deviations from the from the mean presence or amount in the control samples. Any suitable means may be used for determining standard deviation (e.g., direct, sum of square, Welford's), however, in one embodiment, standard deviation is determined using the direct method (i.e., the square root of [the sum the squares of the samples minus the mean, divided by the number of samples]).

Alternatively or additionally, by "is different to the presence and/or amount in a control sample" we mean or include that the presence or amount in the test sample does not correlate with the amount in the control sample in a statistically significant manner. By "does not correlate with the amount in the control sample in a statistically significant manner" we mean or include that the presence or amount in the test sample correlates with that of the control sample with a p-value of >0.001 , for example, >0.002, >0.003, >0.004, >0.005, >0.01 , >0.02, >0.03, >0.04 >0.05, >0.06, >0.07, >0.08, >0.09 or >0.1. Any suitable means for determining p-value known to the skilled person can be used, including z-test, f-test, Student's ί-test, f-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Pearson's chi- squared test. Alternatively or additionally the method further comprises the steps of: e) providing a control sample from an individual with the same systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state to the test subject; and

f) measuring the presence and/or amount in the control sample of the one or more biomarkers measured in step (b); wherein the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state is identified in the event that the expression in the test sample of the one or more biomarkers measured in step (b) corresponds to the expression in the control sample of the one or more biomarkers measured in step (f).

For the avoidance of doubt, control samples from more than one disease state may be provided in step (e), for example,≥2,≥3,≥4,≥5,≥6 or≥7 different disease states. Step (e) may provide at least two control samples, for example, >3,≥4, >5,≥6,≥7, >8, >9,≥10, >15, ≥20,≥25,≥50 or≥100 control samples. Where multiple control samples are provided, they may be of the same type (e.g., all serum or urine samples) or of different types (e.g., serum and urine samples). Preferably the test samples types and control samples types are matched/corresponding. By "corresponds to the presence and/or amount in a control sample" we mean or include the presence and/or amount is identical to that of a positive control sample; or closer to that of one or more positive control sample than to one or more negative control sample (or to predefined reference values representing the same). Preferably the presence and/or amount is within ±40% of that of the one or more control sample (or mean of the control samples), for example, within ±39%, ±38%, ±37%, ±36%, ±35%, ±34%, ±33%, ±32%, ±31%, ±30%, ±29%, ±28%, ±27%, ±26%, ±25%, ±24%, ±23%, ±22%, ±21%, ±20%, ±19%, ±18%, ±17%, ±16%, ±15%, ±14%, ±13%, ±12%, ±11 %, ±10%, ±9%, ±8%, ±7%, ±6%, ±5%, ±4%, ±3%, ±2%, ±1%, ±0.05% or within 0% of the one or more control sample (e.g., the positive control sample).

Alternatively or additionally, the difference in the presence or amount in the test sample is ≤5 standard deviation from the mean presence or amount in the control samples, for example,≤4.5,≤4,≤3.5,≤3, <2.5, <2,≤1.5,≤1.4,≤1.3,≤1.2,≤1.1 ,≤1 ,≤0.9,≤0.8, <0.7,≤0.6, ≤0.5,≤0.4,≤0.3, <0.2, <0.1 or 0 standard deviations from the from the mean presence or amount in the control samples, provided that the standard deviation ranges for differing and corresponding biomarker expressions do not overlap (e.g., abut, but no not overlap).

Alternatively or additionally, by "corresponds to the presence and/or amount in a control sample" we mean or include that the presence or amount in the test sample correlates with the amount in the control sample in a statistically significant manner. By "correlates with the amount in the control sample in a statistically significant manner" we mean or include that the presence or amount in the test sample correlates with the that of the control sample with a p-value of <0.05, for example, <0.04,≤0.03, <0.02, <0.01 , <0.005,≤0.004,≤0.003, ≤0.002,≤0.001 , <0.0005 or≤0.0001.

Differential expression (up-regulation or down regulation) of biomarkers, or lack thereof, can be determined by any suitable means known to a skilled person. Differential expression is determined to a p value of a least less than 0.05 (p = < 0.05), for example, at least <0.04, <0.03, <0.02, <0.01 , <0.009, <0.005, <0.001 , O.0001 , <0.00001 or at least <0.000001. Alternatively or additionally, differential expression is determined using a support vector machine (SVM). Alternatively or additionally, the SVM is an SVM as described below.

It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that differential expression may relate to a single biomarker or to multiple biomarkers considered in combination (i.e. as a biomarker signature). Thus, a p value may be associated with a single biomarker or with a group of biomarkers. Indeed, proteins having a differential expression p value of greater than 0.05 when considered individually may nevertheless still be useful as biomarkers in accordance with the invention when their expression levels are considered in combination with one or more other biomarkers. As exemplified in the accompanying examples, the expression of certain biomarkers in a tissue, blood, serum or plasma test sample may be indicative of an SLE-associated disease state in an individual. For example, the relative expression of certain serum proteins in a single test sample may be indicative of the activity of SLE in an individual.

SLE1 comprises skin and musculoskeletal involvement but lacks serositis, systemic vasculitis and kidney involvement. SLE2 comprises skin and musculoskeletal involvement, serositis and systemic vasculitis but lacks kidney involvement. SLE3 comprises skin and musculoskeletal involvement, serositis, systemic vasculitis and SLE glomerulonephritis. SLE1 , SLE2 and SLE3 represent mild/absent, moderate and severe SLE disease states, respectively (e.g., see Sturfelt G, Sjoholm AG. Complement components, complement activation, and acute phase response in systemic lupus erythematosus. Int Arch Allergy Appl Immunol 1984;75:75-83 which is incorporated herein by reference).

Alternatively or additionally the physical symptoms of the SLE-associated disease state are present, for example, for differentiating between active and highly active SLE, the descriptors used to categorise an individual as 'active' or 'highly active' according to SLEDAI 2000 are present. In other words, the method of the invention may be diagnostic of an/the SLE-associated disease state. By "diagnosing" we mean determining whether a subject is suffering from SLE. Conventional methods of diagnosing SLE are well known in the art. The American College of Rheumatology established eleven criteria in 1982 (see Tan et al., 1982, The 1982 revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus, Arthritis. Rheum., 25:1271-7), which were revised in 1997 as a classificatory instrument to operationalise the definition of SLE in clinical trials (see Hochberg, 1997, Updating the American College of Rheumatology revised criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus, Arthritis. Rheum., 40:1725). For the purpose of identifying patients for clinical studies, a person is taken to have SLE if any 4 out of 1 1 symptoms are present simultaneously or serially on two separate occasions.

Criterion Definition

1. Malar Rash Fixed erythema, flat or raised, over the malar eminences, tending to spare the nasolabial folds

2. Discoid rash Erythematous raised patches with adherent keratotic scaling and follicular plugging; atrophic scarring may occur in older lesions

3. Photosensitivity Skin rash as a result of unusual reaction to sunlight, by patient history or physician observation

4. Oral ulcers Oral or nasopharyngeal ulceration, usually painless, observed by physician

5. Nonerosive Arthritis Involving 2 or more peripheral joints, characterized by tenderness, swelling, or effusion

6. Pleuritis or Pericarditis Pleuritis-convincing history of pleuritic pain or rubbing heard by a physician or evidence of pleural effusion

OR

1 1. Antinuclear Antibody An abnormal titer of antinuclear antibody by immunofluorescence or an equivalent assay at any point in time and in the absence of drugs

Some people, especially those with antiphospholipid syndrome, may have SLE without four of the above criteria, and also SLE may present with features other than those listed in the criteria (see Asherson et al., 2003, Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: international consensus statement on classification criteria and treatment guidelines, Lupus, 12(7):530- 4; Sangle et al., 2005, Livedo reticularis and pregnancy morbidity in patients negative for antiphospholipid antibodies, Ann. Rheum. Dis., 64(1 ): 147-8; and Hughes and Khamashta, 2003, Seronegative antiphospholipid syndrome, Ann. Rheum. Dis., 62(12):1127).

Recursive partitioning has been used to identify more parsimonious criteria (see Edworthy et al., 1988, Analysis of the 1982 ARA lupus criteria data set by recursive partitioning methodology: new insights into the relative merit of individual criteria, J. Rheumatol., 15(10): 1493-8). This analysis presented two diagnostic classification trees:

Simplest classification tree: SLE is diagnosed if a person has an immunologic disorder (anti-DNA antibody, anti-Smith antibody, false positive syphilis test, or LE cells) or malar rash.

Full classification tree: Uses 6 criteria.

Alternatively or additionally, the diagnosis of SLE in is made according to the principles outlined by Fries and Holman, in: Smith LH Jr, ed. In: Smith LH Jr, ed. major Problems in Internal Medicine. Vol VI., 1976, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Other alternative set of criteria has been suggested, the St. Thomas' Hospital "alternative" criteria in 1998 (see Hughes, 1998, Is it lupus? The St. Thomas' Hospital "alternative" criteria, Clin. Exp. Rheumatol., 16(3):250-2).

However, these criteria were not intended to be used to diagnose individuals. They are time-consuming, subjective, require a high degree of experience to use effectively and have a high frequency of excluding actual SLE sufferers (i.e., diagnosing SLE patients as non- SLE patients). The present invention addresses these problems, providing objective SLE diagnosis.

Alternatively or additionally the SLE-associated disease state is determined before the appearance of the physical symptoms of the SLE-associated disease state, for example, for differentiating between active and highly active SLE, the descriptors used to categorise an individual as 'active' or 'highly active' according to SLEDAI 2000 are not yet present. Hence, the individual may be categorised as belonging to a first disease state by the method of the present invention but categorised as a second disease state according to SLEDAI 2000. In other words, the method of the invention may be prognostic of an/the SLE- associated disease state.

Alternatively or additionally, the SLE-associated disease state may be determined at least 1 day before the appearance of the physical symptoms of the SLE associated disease state, for example, at least 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks, 8 weeks, 9 weeks, 10 weeks, 11 weeks, 12 weeks, 4 months, five f months or, six 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, 12 months, 13 months, 14, months, 15, months, 16 months, 17 months, 18 months, 19 months, 20 months, 21 months, 22 months, 23 months or 24 months before the appearance of the physical symptoms of the SLE-associated disease state.

By "expression" we include the level or amount of a gene product such as mRNA or protein.

By 'Motif #' (wherein '#' represents a number) we include a protein comprising the selection motif shown in Table B. Alternatively or additionally we include a protein specifically bound by an antibody having the CDRs defined in Table B in respect of the motif in question. Alternatively or additionally the antibody has a framework region as defined in Olsson et al., 2012, 'Epitope-specificity of recombinant antibodies reveals promiscuous peptide-binding properties.' Protein Sci., 21 (12): 1897-910.

Generally, the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in a subject is determined with an ROC AUC of at least 0.55, for example with an ROC AUC of at least, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, 0.96, 0.97, 0.98 or with an ROC AUC of at least 0.99. Preferably, the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in an individual is determined with an ROC AUC of at least 0.85.

Typically, the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in a subject is determined using a support vector machine (SVM), such as those available from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071/index.html (e.g. e1071 1.5-24). However, any other suitable means may also be used.

Support vector machines (SVMs) are a set of related supervised learning methods used for classification and regression. Given a set of training examples, each marked as belonging to one of two categories, an SVM training algorithm builds a model that predicts whether a new example falls into one category or the other. Intuitively, an SVM model is a representation of the examples as points in space, mapped so that the examples of the separate categories are divided by a clear gap that is as wide as possible. New examples are then mapped into that same space and predicted to belong to a category based on which side of the gap they fall on.

More formally, a support vector machine constructs a hyperplane or set of hyperplanes in a high or infinite dimensional space, which can be used for classification, regression or other tasks. Intuitively, a good separation is achieved by the hyperplane that has the largest distance to the nearest training datapoints of any class (so-called functional margin), since in general the larger the margin the lower the generalization error of the classifier. For more information on SVMs, see for example, Burges, 1998, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, 2:121-167.

In one embodiment of the invention, the SVM is 'trained' prior to performing the methods of the invention using proteome samples from subjects assigned to known patient groups (namely, those patients in which the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state is present versus those patients in which it is absent). By running such training samples, the SVM is able to learn what biomarker profiles are associated with the systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state. Once the training process is complete, the SVM is then able whether or not the proteome sample tested is from a subject a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state.

However, this training procedure can be by-passed by pre-programming the SVM with the necessary training parameters. For example, a systemic lupus erythematosus-associated disease state in a subject can be determined using the SVM parameters detailed in Table B, based on the measurement of some or all the biomarkers listed in Table A.

It will be appreciated by skilled persons that suitable SVM parameters can be determined for any combination of the biomarkers listed Table A by training an SVM machine with the appropriate selection of data (i.e. biomarker measurements in samples from known patient groups.

Alternatively, the data provided in the present figures and tables may be used to determine a particular SLE-associated disease state according to any other suitable statistical method known in the art, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Orthogonal PCA (OPLS) and other multivariate statistical analyses (e.g., backward stepwise logistic regression model). For a review of multivariate statistical analysis see, for example, Schervish, Mark J. (November 1987). "A Review of Multivariate Analysis". Statistical Science 2 (4): 396-413 which is incorporated herein by reference.

Preferably, the method of the invention has an accuracy of at least 51 %, for example 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61 %, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71 %, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81 %, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% accuracy.

Preferably, the method of the invention has a sensitivity of at least 51 %, for example 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61 %, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71 %, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% sensitivity.

Preferably, the method of the invention has a specificity of at least 51%, for example 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61 %, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71 %, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81 %, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% specificity.

By "accuracy" we mean the proportion of correct outcomes of a method, by "sensitivity" we mean the proportion of all positive chemicals that are correctly classified as positives, and by "specificity" we mean the proportion of all negative chemicals that are correctly classified as negatives.

Alternatively or additionally step (b) and/or step (d) is performed using a binding agent capable of binding to the one or more biomarker(s). Binding agents (also referred to as binding molecules and binding moieties) can be selected from a library, based on their ability to bind a given motif, as discussed below.

By "biomarker" we mean a naturally-occurring biological molecule, or component or fragment thereof, the measurement of which can provide information useful in the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. For example, the biomarker may be a naturally occurring protein, mRNA or carbohydrate moiety, or an antigenic component or fragment thereof.

In an alternative or additional embodiment step (b) comprises measuring the expression of the protein or polypeptide of the one or more biomarker(s). Methods of detecting and/or measuring the concentration of protein and/or nucleic acid are well known to those skilled in the art, see for example Sambrook and Russell, 2001 , Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. Preferred methods for detection and/or measurement of protein include Western blot, Northwestern blot, immunosorbent assays (ELISA), antibody microarray, tissue microarray (TMA), immunoprecipitation, in situ hybridisation and other immunohistochemistry techniques, radioimmunoassay (RIA), immunoradiometric assays (IRMA) and immunoenzymatic assays (IEMA), including sandwich assays using monoclonal and/or polyclonal antibodies. Exemplary sandwich assays are described by David et al., in US Patent Nos. 4,376, 1 10 and 4,486,530, hereby incorporated by reference. Antibody staining of cells on slides may be used in methods well known in cytology laboratory diagnostic tests, as well known to those skilled in the art. Typically, ELISA involves the use of enzymes which give a coloured reaction product, usually in solid phase assays. Enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase and phosphatase have been widely employed. A way of amplifying the phosphatase reaction is to use NADP as a substrate to generate NAD which now acts as a coenzyme for a second enzyme system. Pyrophosphatase from Escherichia coli provides a good conjugate because the enzyme is not present in tissues, is stable and gives a good reaction colour. Chemi- luminescent systems based on enzymes such as luciferase can also be used.

Conjugation with the vitamin biotin is frequently used since this can readily be detected by its reaction with enzyme-linked avidin or streptavidin to which it binds with great specificity and affinity.

Alternatively or additionally, the binding agent is an antibody or a fragment thereof.

Thus, a fragment may contain one or more of the variable heavy (VH) or variable light (VL) domains. For example, the term antibody fragment includes Fab-like molecules (Better et al (1988) Science 240, 1041 ); Fv molecules (Skerra er a/ (1988) Science 240, 1038); single- chain Fv (ScFv) molecules where the VH and VL partner domains are linked via a flexible oligopeptide (Bird er a/ (1988) Science 242, 423; Huston et a/ (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 5879) and single domain antibodies (dAbs) comprising isolated V domains (Ward et al (1989) Nature 341 , 544). The term "antibody variant" includes any synthetic antibodies, recombinant antibodies or antibody hybrids, such as but not limited to, a single-chain antibody molecule produced by phage-display of immunoglobulin light and/or heavy chain variable and/or constant regions, or other immunointeractive molecule capable of binding to an antigen in an immunoassay format that is known to those skilled in the art.

A general review of the techniques involved in the synthesis of antibody fragments which retain their specific binding sites is to be found in Winter & Milstein (1991 ) Nature 349, 293- 299.

Additionally or alternatively at least one type, more typically all of the types, of the binding molecules is an aptamer.

Molecular libraries such as antibody libraries (Clackson ef a/, 1991 , Nature 352, 624-628; Marks ef a/, 1991 , J Mol Biol 222(3): 581-97), peptide libraries (Smith, 1985, Science 228(4705): 315-7), expressed cDNA libraries (Santi et al (2000) J Mol Biol 296(2): 497- 508), libraries on other scaffolds than the antibody framework such as affibodies (Gunneriusson ef al, 1999, Appl Environ Microbiol 65(9): 4134-40) or libraries based on aptamers (Kenan ef a/, 1999, Methods Mol Biol 118, 217-31 ) may be used as a source from which binding molecules that are specific for a given motif are selected for use in the methods of the invention.

The molecular libraries may be expressed in vivo in prokaryotic (Clackson et al, 1991 , op. cit; Marks ef al, 1991 , op. cit.) or eukaryotic cells (Kieke ef al, 1999, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 96(10):5651-6) or may be expressed in vitro without involvement of cells (Hanes & Pluckthun, 1997, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 94(10):4937-42; He & Taussig, 1997, Nucleic Acids Res 25(24):5 32-4; Nemoto et al, 1997, FEBS Lett, 414(2):405-8).

In cases when protein based libraries are used often the genes encoding the libraries of potential binding molecules are packaged in viruses and the potential binding molecule is displayed at the surface of the virus (Clackson ef al, 1991 , op. cit; Marks et al, 1991 , op. cit; Smith, 1985, op. cit).

The most commonly used such system today is filamentous bacteriophage displaying antibody fragments at their surfaces, the antibody fragments being expressed as a fusion to the minor coat protein of the bacteriophage (Clackson ef al, 1991 , op. cit; Marks et al, 1991 , op. cit). However, also other systems for display using other viruses (EP 39578), bacteria (Gunneriusson et al, 1999, op. cit; Daugherty et al, 1998, Protein Eng 11(9):825- 32; Daugherty et al, 1999, Protein Eng 12(7):613-21 ), and yeast (Shusta et al, 1999, J Mol Biol 292(5):949-56) have been used. In addition, recently, display systems utilising linkage of the polypeptide product to its encoding mRNA in so called ribosome display systems (Hanes & Pluckthun, 1997, op. cit.; He & Taussig, 1997, op. cit; Nemoto et al, 1997, op. cit), or alternatively linkage of the polypeptide product to the encoding DNA (see US Patent No. 5,856,090 and WO 98/37186) have been presented.

When potential binding molecules are selected from libraries one or a few selector peptides having defined motifs are usually employed. Amino acid residues that provide structure, decreasing flexibility in the peptide or charged, polar or hydrophobic side chains allowing interaction with the binding molecule may be used in the design of motifs for selector peptides. For example -

(i) Proline may stabilise a peptide structure as its side chain is bound both to the alpha carbon as well as the nitrogen;

(ii) Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan have aromatic side chains and are highly hydrophobic, whereas leucine and isoleucine have aliphatic side chains and are also hydrophobic;

(iii) Lysine, arginine and histidine have basic side chains and will be positively charged at neutral pH, whereas aspartate and glutamate have acidic side chains and will be negatively charged at neutral pH;

(iv) Asparagine and glutamine are neutral at neutral pH but contain a amide group which may participate in hydrogen bonds;

(v) Serine, threonine and tyrosine side chains contain hydroxyl groups, which may participate in hydrogen bonds. Typically selection of binding molecules may involve the use of array technologies and systems to analyse binding to spots corresponding to types of binding molecules.

In one embodiment, the antibody or fragment thereof is a recombinant antibody or fragment thereof (such as an scFv).

By "ScFv molecules" we mean molecules wherein the V H and VL partner domains are linked via a flexible oligopeptide. The advantages of using antibody fragments, rather than whole antibodies, are several-fold. The smaller size of the fragments may lead to improved pharmacological properties, such as better penetration of solid tissue. Effector functions of whole antibodies, such as complement binding, are removed. Fab, Fv, ScFv and dAb antibody fragments can all be expressed in and secreted from E. coli, thus allowing the facile production of large amounts of the said fragments.

Whole antibodies, and F(ab')2 fragments are "bivalent". By "bivalent" we mean that the said antibodies and F(ab')2 fragments have two antigen combining sites. In contrast, Fab, Fv, ScFv and dAb fragments are monovalent, having only one antigen combining sites.

The antibodies may be monoclonal or polyclonal. Suitable monoclonal antibodies may be prepared by known techniques, for example those disclosed in "Monoclonal Antibodies: A manual of techniques", H Zola (CRC Press, 1988) and in "Monoclonal Hybridoma Antibodies: Techniques and applications", J G R Hurrell (CRC Press, 1982), both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Alternatively or additionally the antibody or fragment thereof is selected from the group consisting of: scFv; Fab; a binding domain of an immunoglobulin molecule.

Alternatively or additionally, antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of competing for binding to a biomarker specified in Table A with an antibody for that biomarker defined in Table C.

By "capable of competing" for binding to a biomarker specified in Table A with an antibody molecule as defined herein (or a variant, fusion or derivative of said antibody or antigen- binding fragment, or a fusion of a said variant or derivative thereof, which retains the binding specificity for the required biomarker) we mean or include that the tested antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of inhibiting or otherwise interfering, at least in part, with the binding of an antibody molecule as defined herein.

For example, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment may be capable of inhibiting the binding of an antibody molecule defined herein by at least 10%, for example at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 35% or even by 100%. Competitive binding may be determined by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as ELISA (as described herein) and/or SPR (as described in the accompanying Examples). Alternatively or additionally, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is an antibody defined in Table C or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, or a variant thereof.

Alternatively or additionally, the antibody the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a VH and VL domain specified in Table C, or a variant thereof.

By 'variants' of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the invention we include insertions, deletions and substitutions, either conservative or non-conservative. In particular we include variants of the sequence of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment where such variations do not substantially alter the activity of the antibody or antigen- binding fragment. In particular, we include variants of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment where such changes do not substantially alter the binding specificity for the respective biomarker specified in Table C.

The polypeptide variant may have an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity with one or more of the amino acid sequences of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the invention as defined herein - for example, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% identity with one or more of the amino acid sequences of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the invention as defined herein.

The percent sequence identity between two polypeptides may be determined using suitable computer programs, for example the GAP program of the University of Wisconsin Genetic Computing Group and it will be appreciated that percent identity is calculated in relation to polypeptides whose sequences have been aligned optimally.

The alignment may alternatively be carried out using the Clustal W program (as described in Thompson ef a/., 1994, Nucl. Acid Res. 22:4673-4680, which is incorporated herein by reference). The parameters used may be as follows:

Fast pair-wise alignment parameters: K-tuple(word) size; 1 , window size; 5, gap penalty; 3, number of top diagonals; 5. Scoring method: x percent. - Multiple alignment parameters: gap open penalty; 10, gap extension penalty;

0.05.

Scoring matrix: BLOSUM. Alternatively, the BESTFIT program may be used to determine local sequence alignments.

The antibodies may share CDRs (e.g., 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) CDRs with one or more of the antibodies defined in Table C.

CDRs can be defined using any suitable method known in the art. Commonly used methods include Paratome (Kunik, Ashkenazi and Ofran, 2012, 'Paratome: an online tool for systematic identification of antigen-binding regions in antibodies based on sequence or structure' Nucl. Acids Res., 40:W521-W524; http://www.ofranlab.org/paratome/), Kabat (Wu and Kabat, 1970, 'An analysis of the sequences of the variable regions of Bence Jones proteins and myeloma light chains and their implications for antibody complementarity.' J. Exp. Med., 132:211-250), Chothia (Chothia and Lesk, 1987 'Canonical structures for the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulins' J. Mol. Biol., 196:901-917; Chothia et al., 1989 'Conformations of immunoglobulin hypervariable regions' Nature, 342:877-883) and IMGT (Lefranc et al., 2003 'IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable domains and Ig superfamily V-like domains. Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27:55-77; Lefranc et al., 2005 'IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor constant domains and Ig superfamily C-like domains' Dev. Comp. Immunol., 29:185-203; http://www.imgt.org). For example, the method used may be the IMGT method.

Alternatively or additionally, the first binding agent is immobilised on a surface (e.g., on a multiwell plate or array).

Alternatively or additionally the one or more biomarker(s) in the test sample is labelled with a detectable moiety. Alternatively or additionally the one or more biomarker(s) in the control sample is labelled with a detectable moiety (which may be the same or different from the detectable moiety used to label the test sample). By a "detectable moiety" we include the meaning that the moiety is one which may be detected and the relative amount and/or location of the moiety (for example, the location on an array) determined.

Detectable moieties are well known in the art.

A detectable moiety may be a fluorescent and/or luminescent and/or chemiluminescent moiety which, when exposed to specific conditions, may be detected. For example, a fluorescent moiety may need to be exposed to radiation (i.e. light) at a specific wavelength and intensity to cause excitation of the fluorescent moiety, thereby enabling it to emit detectable fluorescence at a specific wavelength that may be detected.

Alternatively, the detectable moiety may be an enzyme which is capable of converting a (preferably undetectable) substrate into a detectable product that can be visualised and/or detected. Examples of suitable enzymes are discussed in more detail in relation to, for example, ELISA assays.

Alternatively, the detectable moiety may be a radioactive atom which is useful in imaging. Suitable radioactive atoms include 99m Tc and 123 l for scintigraphic studies. Other readily detectable moieties include, for example, spin labels for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) such as 123 l again, 131 l, 11 ln, 9 F, 13 C, 15 N, 17 0, gadolinium, manganese or iron. Clearly, the agent to be detected (such as, for example, the one or more proteins in the test sample and/or control sample described herein and/or an antibody molecule for use in detecting a selected protein) must have sufficient of the appropriate atomic isotopes in order for the detectable moiety to be readily detectable.

The radio- or other labels may be incorporated into the agents of the invention (i.e. the proteins present in the samples of the methods of the invention and/or the binding agents of the invention) in known ways. For example, if the binding moiety is a polypeptide it may be biosynthesised or may be synthesised by chemical amino acid synthesis using suitable amino acid precursors involving, for example, fluorine-19 in place of hydrogen. Labels such as 99m Tc, 123 l, 186 Rh, 188 Rh and 11 In can, for example, be attached via cysteine residues in the binding moiety. Yttrium-90 can be attached via a lysine residue. The IODOGEN method (Fraker ef al (1978) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 80, 49-57) can be used to incorporate 123 l. Reference ("Monoclonal Antibodies in Immunoscintigraphy", J-F Chatal, CRC Press, 1989) describes other methods in detail. Methods for conjugating other detectable moieties (such as enzymatic, fluorescent, luminescent, chemiluminescent or radioactive moieties) to proteins are well known in the art.

Preferably, the detectable moiety is selected from the group consisting of: a fluorescent moiety, a luminescent moiety, a chemiluminescent moiety, a radioactive moiety, and an enzymatic moiety.

In an alternative or additional embodiment step (b), (d) and/or (f) comprises measuring the expression of a nucleic acid molecule encoding the one or more biomarkers.

The nucleic acid molecule may be a cDNA molecule or an mRNA molecule. Preferably the nucleic acid molecule is an mRNA molecule. Also preferably the nucleic acid molecule is a cDNA molecule. Hence, measuring the expression of the one or more biomarker(s) in step (b) may be performed using a method selected from the group consisting of Southern hybridisation, Northern hybridisation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase PCR (RT- PCR), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), nanoarray, microarray, macroarray, autoradiography and in situ hybridisation. Preferably measuring the expression of the one or more biomarker(s) in step (b) is determined using a DNA microarray. Hence, the method may comprise or consist of measuring the expression of the one or more biomarker(s) in step (b) using one or more binding moiety, each capable of binding selectively to a nucleic acid molecule encoding one of the biomarkers identified in Table A. In an alternative or additional embodiment step the one or more binding moieties each comprise or consist of a nucleic acid molecule such as DNA, RNA, PNA, LNA, GNA, TNA or PMO (preferably DNA). Preferably the one or more binding moieties are 5 to 100 nucleotides in length. More preferably, the one or more nucleic acid molecules are 15 to 35 nucleotides in length. The binding moiety may comprise a detectable moiety.

Suitable binding agents (also referred to as binding molecules) may be selected or screened from a library based on their ability to bind a given nucleic acid, protein or amino acid motif.

In an alternative or additional embodiment measuring the expression of the one or more biomarker(s) in step (b), (d) and/or (f) is performed using one or more binding moieties, each individually capable of binding selectively to a nucleic acid molecule encoding one of the biomarkers identified in Table A. In an alternative or additional embodiment, the nucleic acid binding moiety comprises a detectable moiety as defined above. Alternatively or additionally step (b), (d) and/or (f), where present, is performed using an array. The array may be a bead-based array or a surface-based array. The array may be selected from the group consisting of macroarray, microarray and nanoarray.

Arrays per se are well known in the art. Typically, they are formed of a linear or two- dimensional structure having spaced apart (i.e. discrete) regions ("spots"), each having a finite area, formed on the surface of a solid support. An array can also be a bead structure where each bead can be identified by a molecular code or colour code or identified in a continuous flow. Analysis can also be performed sequentially where the sample is passed over a series of spots each adsorbing the class of molecules from the solution. The solid support is typically glass or a polymer, the most commonly used polymers being cellulose, polyacrylamide, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene. The solid supports may be in the form of tubes, beads, discs, silicon chips, microplates, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane, nitrocellulose membrane, nylon membrane, other porous membrane, non-porous membrane (e.g. plastic, polymer, perspex, silicon, amongst others), a plurality of polymeric pins, or a plurality of microtitre wells, or any other surface suitable for immobilising proteins, polynucleotides and other suitable molecules and/or conducting an immunoassay. The binding processes are well known in the art and generally consist of cross-linking covalently binding or physically adsorbing a protein molecule, polynucleotide or the like to the solid support. By using well-known techniques, such as contact or non- contact printing, masking or photolithography, the location of each spot can be defined. For reviews see Jenkins, R.E., Pennington, S.R. (2001 , Proteomics, 2,13-29) and Lai ef al (2002, Drug Discov Today 15;7(18 Suppl):S143-9).

Typically, the array is a microarray. By "microarray" we include the meaning of an array of regions having a density of discrete regions of at least about 100/cm 2 , and preferably at least about 1000/cm 2 . The regions in a microarray have typical dimensions, e.g., diameters, in the range of between about 10-250 μΐη, and are separated from other regions in the array by about the same distance. The array may also be a macroarray or a nanoarray. Once suitable binding molecules (discussed above) have been identified and isolated, the skilled person can manufacture an array using methods well known in the art of molecular biology. Alternatively or additionally step (b), step (d) and/or step (f), where present, is performed using an assay comprising a second binding agent capable of binding to the one or more proteins, the second binding agent having a detectable moiety.

Alternatively or additionally step (b), step (d) and/or step (f), where present, are performed using ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay).

Typically, the assay is an ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) which typically involve the use of enzymes which give a coloured reaction product, usually in solid phase assays. Enzymes such as horseradish peroxidase and phosphatase have been widely employed. A way of amplifying the phosphatase reaction is to use NADP as a substrate to generate NAD which now acts as a coenzyme for a second enzyme system. Pyrophosphatase from Escherichia coli provides a good conjugate because the enzyme is not present in tissues, is stable and gives a good reaction colour. Chemi-luminescent systems based on enzymes such as luciferase can also be used.

Conjugation with the vitamin biotin is also employed used since this can readily be detected by its reaction with enzyme-linked avidin or streptavidin to which it binds with great specificity and affinity.

It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that there is a degree of fluidity in the biomarker composition of the signatures of the invention. Thus, different combinations of the biomarkers may be equally useful in the diagnosis, prognosis and/or characterisation of SLE. In this way, each biomarker (either alone or in combination with one or more other biomarkers) makes a contribution to the signature.

EXAMPLES Introduction

Objective. To define a multiplex serum biomarker panel reflecting disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), taking the next steps towards serum-based detection of flares.

Methods. Affinity proteomics, represented by 195-plex recombinant antibody microarrays, targeting mainly immunoregulatory proteins, was used to perform protein expression profiling of non-fractionated, biotinylated serum samples. State-of-the-art bioinformatics was used to define biomarkers and condensed multiplex signatures mirroring disease activity in SLE.

Results. The results showed that a single drop of blood contained significant amount of biological information, in the form of immunoregulatory proteins (e.g. C1q, C3, C4, Factor B, MCP-1 , CD40L, IL-1 ra, IL-5, IL-12, IL-16 and IFN-γ) reflecting SLE flares that could be harvested using affinity proteomics. The first condensed (n ≤ 25) multiplexed serum biomarker panels detecting (classifying) active SLE with high discriminatory power were deciphered. Further, the potential of the approach for serological monitoring of flares over time was indicated.

Conclusion. Our study demonstrated that the immune system could be used as a unique sensor for SLE flares. High-performing serum biomarker panels associated with SLE disease activity were identified, allowing and monitoring and forecasting of disease outbreaks.

Materials and methods

Clinical samples

In total, 197 serum samples were collected at the Department of Rheumatology, Skane University Hospital (Lund, Sweden), including SLE patients (n=86) and normal controls (N) (n=50) (Table I). The SLE patients had clinical SLE diagnosis (22) and displayed four or more of American College of Rheumatology classification criteria (23, 24). The SLE samples were collected over time during follow-up and the patients were presented with either flare or remission, i.e. for some patients up to four samples were collected at different time-points. The SLE patients (samples) were marked according to disease phenotype (25); 1 ) skin and musculoskeletal involvement (SLE1 , n=30); 2) serositis, systemic vasculitis but not kidney involvement (SLE2, n=30); 3) presence of SLE glomerulonephritis (SLE3, n=87). The clinical disease activity was defined as SLE disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score (5). The SLE samples were grouped in three groups, according to SLEDAI-2K scores; < 5 = NonActive (n=63), >5 = Active (n=83), > 16 = HighActive (n=28). All samples were aliquoted and stored at -80°C until analysis. This retrospective study was approved by the regional ethics review board in Lund, Sweden. The serum levels of C1q and C4 were determined using rocket immunoelectrophoresis (C1 q) and tubidometry (C4). The same samples have been used in a parallel, but separate study, aiming to define serum biomarkers for SLE diagnosis (Delfani ef a/, 2016, supra). Labelling of serum samples

The serum samples were labelled with EZ-link Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) using a previously optimized labelling protocol for serum proteomes (26-28). Briefly, the samples were diluted 1 :45 in PBS (about 2mg protein/ml), and biotinylated at a molar ratio of biotin:protein of 15:1. Unreacted biotin was removed by extensive dialysis against PBS (pH 7.4) for 72 h at 4°C. The samples were aliquoted and stored at -20°C until further use.

Production and purification of antibodies

In total, 195 human recombinant single-chain fragment variable (scFv) antibodies, including 180 antibodies targeting 73 mainly immunoregulatory analytes, anticipated to reflect the events taking place in SLE, and 15 scFv antibodies targeting 15 short amino acid motifs (4 to 6 amino acids long) (29) were selected from a large phage display library (Supplementary Table I) (30) (Sail ef al, submitted). The specificity, affinity, and on-chip functionality of the scFv antibodies have been previously validated (see Supplementary Appendix 1 for details).

All scFv antibodies were produced in E. coli and purified from expression supernatants using affinity chromatography on Ni 2+ -NTA agarose (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) validated (see Supplementary Appendix 1 for details). Production and analysis of antibody microarravs

The scFv microarrays were produced and handled using a previously optimized and validated set-up (19) (Delfani ef al, 2016, supra) (see Supplementary Appendix 1 for details). Briefly, 14 identical 25x28 subarrays were printed on each black polymer MaxiSorp microarray slide (NUNC A/S, Roskilde, Denmark) using a non-contact printer (SciFlexarrayer S11 , Scienion, Berlin, Germany). Biotinylated samples were added and any bound protein antigens were visualized using Alexa 647-labelled streptavidin (SA647) (Invitrogen). Finally, the slides were scanned with a confocal microarray scanner (ScanArray Express, PerkinElmer Life & Analytical Sciences).

Data pre-processing

The ScanArray Express software v4.0 (PerkinElmer Life & Analytical Sciences) was used to quantify spot signal intensities. Signal intensities with local background subtraction were used for data analysis. Each data point represents the mean value of all three technical replicate spots, unless any replicate CV exceeded 15%, in which case the worst performing replicate was eliminated and the average value of the two remaining replicates was used instead. Log 10 values of signal intensities were used for subsequent analysis. The microarray data was normalized in a two-step procedure using a semi-global normalization method (19, 31 , 32) and the "subtract by group mean" approach (see Supplementary Appendix 1 for details). Data analysis

Where applicable, the sample cohort was randomly divided into a training set (2/3 of the samples) and a test set (1/3 of the samples), making sure that the distribution of SLE vs. controls and/or samples with active vs. inactive disease was similar between the two sets. It should be noted that for those SLE patients where more than one sample was at hand, the sample was randomly selected for each comparison, and only one sample per patient was included in each subset comparison in order to avoid bias (i.e. over-representation of certain patients).

The support vector machine (SVM) is a supervised learning method in R (33-35) that we used to classify the samples (see Supplementary Appendix 1 for details). For classification of HighActive SLE vs. N, HighActive SLE vs. NonActive SLE, the SVM was trained using a leave-one-out cross-validation procedure (31 ), and the prediction performance of the classifier was evaluated by constructing a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve and calculating the area under the curve (AUC).

In the case of Active SLE vs. N, NonActive SLE vs. N, and Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE, the samples were randomly divided into a training set and a test set, and a backward elimination algorithm (36) combined with a leave-one-out cross-validation procedure was applied on the training set to determine a condensed panel of antibodies displaying the highest combined discriminatory power. A single SVM model was then calibrated on the training set using the condensed antibody panel, where after the classifier was frozen and evaluated on the test set. This process was iterated nine additional times, in nine different, randomly generated pairs of training sets and test sets, with subsequent generation of ROC AUC curves. In the end, a median AUC value was calculated based on all ten runs, and used as a measure of the accuracy of the biomarker signatures in the tests. To investigate whether phenotype was a confounding factor for classification of Active SLE vs. N and NonActive SLE vs. N, the SLE samples were also grouped according to phenotype (SLE1 , SLE2, and SLE3) and the above analysis were re-run.

Significantly differentially expressed analytes (p <0.05) were identified based on t-tests when performing two-group comparisons. Longitudinal analysis of SLE samples were conducted using multi-group comparison. Heat maps and visualization of the samples by principal component analysis (PCA) were carried using Qlucore Omics Explorer 2.2. (Qlucore AB, Lund, Sweden). Supplementary materials and methods

Production and purification of antibodies

In total, 195 human recombinant scFv antibodies, including 180 antibodies targeting 73 mainly immunoregulatory analytes, anticipated to reflect the events taking place in SLE, and 15 scFv antibodies targeting 15 short amino acid motifs (4 to 6 amino acids long) (1 ) were selected from a large phage display library (Supplementary Table I) (2) (Sail er a/, unpublished data). The specificity, affinity (normally in the nM range), and on-chip functionality of these phage display derived scFv antibodies was ensured by using i) stringent phage-display selection and screening protocols (2), ii) multiple clones (1-9) per target, and iii) a molecular design, adapted for microarray applications (3). In addition, the specificity of several of the antibodies have previously also been validated using well- characterized, standardized serum samples (with known analytes of the targeted analytes), and orthogonal methods, such as mass spectrometry (affinity pull-down experiments), ELISA, MesoScaleDiscovery (MSD) assay, cytometric bead assay, and MS, as well as using spiking and blocking (Supplementary Table I) (4-12). Notably, the reactivity of some antibodies might be lost since the label (biotin) used to label the sample to enable detection could block the affinity binding to the antibodies (epitope masking). However, we addressed this potential problem by frequently including more than one antibody clone against the same protein, but directed against different epitopes (3).

All scFv antibodies were produced in 100 ml E. coli and purified from expression supematants using affinity chromatography on Ni 2+ -NTA agarose (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). ScFvs were eluted using 250 mM imidazole, extensively dialyzed against PBS (pH 7.4), and stored at 4°C until use. The protein concentration was determined by measuring the absorbance at 280nm (average 340 g/ml, range 30-1500 pg/rnl). The degree of purity and integrity of the scFv antibodies was evaluated by 10% SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).

Production and analysis of antibody microarrays

The scFv microarrays were produced using a previously optimized and validated set-up (9) (Delfani et al, unpublished data). Briefly, the antibodies were printed on black polymer MaxiSorp microarray slides (NUNC A/S, Roskilde, Denmark), by spotting one drop (-330 pL) at each position, using a non-contact printer (SciFlexarrayer S11 , Scienion, Berlin, Germany). Each microarray, composed of 195 scFvs antibodies, one negative control (PBS) and one positive control (biotinylated BSA, b-BSA), was split into 14 sub-arrays of 25x28 spots. Furthermore, each sub-array was divided in three segments where a row of b-BSA consisting of 25 replicate spots was printed at the beginning and the end of each segment. Each scFv antibody was dispensed in three replicates, one in each segment, to assure adequate reproducibility.

For handling the arrays, we used a recently optimized protocol (Delfani et al, unpublished data). Briefly, the printed microarrays were allowed to dry for 2h at RT and were then mounted in a multi-well incubation chambers (NEXTERION® IC-16) (Schott, Jena, Germany). Next, the slides were blocked with 1% (v/v) Tween-20 (Merck Millipore) and 1% (w/v) fat-free milk powder (Semper, Sundbyberg, Sweden) in PBS (MT-PBS solution) for 2h at RT. Subsequently, the slides were washed for four times with 150 pi 0.05% (v/v) Tween- 20 in PBS (T-PBS solution), and then incubated with 100 μΙ biotinylated serum sample, diluted 1 :10 in MT-PBS solution (corresponding to a total serum dilution of 1 :450), for 2h at RT under gentle agitation using an orbital shaker. After another washing, the slides were incubated with 100 μΙ 1 g/ml Alexa 647-labelled streptavidin (SA647) (Invitrogen) in MT- PBS for 1 h at RT under agitation. Finally, the slides were washed in T-PBS, and dried under a stream of nitrogen gas, and immediately scanned with a confocal microarray scanner (ScanArray Express, PerkinElmer Life & Analytical Sciences) at 10 m resolution, using fixed scanner settings of 60% PMT gain and 90% laser power.

Data pre-processing

The ScanArray Express software v4.0 (PerkinElmer Life & Analytical Sciences) was used to quantify spot signal intensities, using the fixed circle method. Signal intensities with local background subtraction were used for data analysis. Each data point represents the mean value of all three replicate spots, unless any replicate CV exceeded 15%, in which case the worst performing replicate was eliminated and the average value of the two remaining replicates was used instead. Log 10 values of signal intensities were used for subsequent analysis.

For evaluation of normalization strategies and initial analysis on variance, the data was visualized using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering In Qluecore Omics Explorer (Qlucore AB, Lund, Sweden). Subsequently, the data normalization procedure was carried out in two steps. First, the microarray data was normalized for array- to-array variations using a semi-global normalization method, where 20% of the analytes displaying the lowest CV-values over all samples were identified and used to calculate a scaling factor, as previously described (9, 13, 14). Second, the data was normalized for day-to-day variation using the "subtract by group mean" approach. In this approach, the mean value (x) of each analyte (i) within each day of analysis was calculated (= xi), and subtracted from the respective individual values (x,), thus zero centering the data (= Xi-x,). Finally, the global mean signal for each antibody was calculated and added to each respective data point in order to avoid negative values in the data set.

Data analysis

The support vector machine (SVM) is a supervised learning method in R (15-17) that was used to classify the samples. The supervised classification was conducted using a linear kernel, and the cost of constraints was set to 1 , which is the default value in the R function SVM, and no attempt was performed to tune it. This absence of parameter tuning was chosen to avoid over fitting. No filtration on the data was done before training the SVM, i.e. all antibodies used on the microarray were included in the analysis. Further, a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, as constructed using the SVM decision values and the area under the curve (AUC), was calculated.

The samples were first randomly divided into a training set (2/3 of the data) and a test set (1/3 of the data) while maintaining the same ratios of samples from each group. It should be noted that for those SLE patients where more than one sample was at hand, the sample was randomly selected for each comparison, and only one sample per patient was included in each subset comparison in order to avoid bias. A backward elimination algorithm (18) combined with a leave-one-out cross-validation procedure was then applied to the training set to create a condensed panel of antibodies displaying the highest combined discriminatory power. The condensed panel of antibodies was then employed to train a single SVM model on the training set. The trained SVM model was then frozen and applied to the test set, and a ROC AUC was calculated and used to evaluate the performance of the SVM classifier. In order to demonstrate the robustness of the data set, 9 additional training and test sets were generated and the above data analysis process was repeated. Finally, the frequency at which each antibody was included in all 10 different defined antibody panels was assessed.

The SVM was trained using the leave-one-out cross-validation procedure as previously described (13). By iterating all samples, a ROC curve was constructed using the decision values and the corresponding AUC value was determined, and used for evaluating the prediction performance of the classifier.

Significantly differentially expressed analytes (p <0.05) were identified based on t- tests. Heat maps and visualization of the samples by principal component analysis (PCA) were carried using Qlucore Omics Explorer.

Results

In this study, we have used recombinant scFv antibody microarrays for pin-pointing serum biomarker panels reflecting disease activity in SLE. A total of 197 biotinylated serum samples (SLE n=147, normal controls n=50) representing 136 patients (86 SLE and 50 controls) (Table I) were profiled using 195-plex antibody microarrays, targeting mainly immunoregulatory analytes. The generated microarray images were transformed into protein expression profiles, or protein maps, and SLE-associated serum biomarkers were deciphered. Profiling of active SLE

To decode serum biomarkers reflecting active SLE, we first investigated whether SLE patients with active disease (denoted Active SLE) vs. normal controls could be discriminated. To this end, the data set was randomly divided into a training set (2/3 of all samples) and a test set (1/3 of all samples). A stepwise backward elimination procedure was then applied to the training set in order to identify the smallest set of antibodies, i.e. biomarkers, required for differentiating Active SLE vs. normal controls. The results showed that a combination of 10 antibodies, evaluated in terms of the smallest error, provided the best classification (Fig. 1 A). But in order to allow some flexibility in the signature, the top 25 antibodies were selected to represent a condensed biomarker panel (Fig. 1A).

In order to evaluate the classification power of this 25-plex biomarker signature, the panel was first used to train a single SVM model, denoted frozen SVM, on the training set. Next, the frozen SVM model was applied to the independent test set. The results showed that a ROC AUC value of 0.96 was obtained (Fig. 1 B), demonstrating that Active SLE vs. normal controls could be differentiated with a high discriminatory power. Visualizing the data using a principle component analysis (PCA) based approach, a similar distinct discrimination was observed (Figs. 1 C and 1 D). A heat map for the test set, based on the 25-plex signature, is shown in Figure 1 E. The biomarker panel was found to be composed of both up- (e.g. IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 , and TNF-a) and down-regulated proteins (e.g. C3), although the former dominated. It should be noted that we did not differentiate whether the observed up- and down-regulated levels of a protein was due to an in-/decreased production or in-/decreased consumption. Hence, the results showed that a multiplexed, discriminatory biomarker panel reflecting active SLE could be deciphered from crude serum.

Profiling of NonActive SLE

Next, we focused on SLE patients at remission (denoted NonActive SLE). As above, the samples were randomly divided into a training set and test set, whereafter a condensed 25- plex biomarker signatures discriminating NonActive SLE vs. normal controls was defined and used to train a frozen SVM model (training set). Subsequently, the model was evaluated using the independent test set. The results showed that a ROC AUC value of 0.89 was obtained (Fig. 2A), demonstrating that NonActive SLE vs. normal controls could be differentiated. PCA-based analysis showed that a similar distinct discrimination was obtained (Figs. 2B and 2C). A heat map for the test set, based on the 25-plex signature, is shown in Figure 2D. The panel was found to be composed of both up- (e.g. IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-a) and down-regulated proteins (e.g. C3 and C4), but the former dominated. Thus, the data demonstrated that a multiplexed, discriminatory panel of biomarkers reflecting also NonActive SLE could be defined from crude serum.

Profiling of NonActive SLE and Active SLE

Next, we compared the serum protein expression profiles of NonActive SLE (SLEDAI-2K: mean 2, range 0-5) and Active SLE(SLEDAI-2K: mean 13, range 6-32). Using the same stringent bioinformatics approach as above, a condensed 25-plex serum biomarker signature discriminating NonActive SLE vs. Active SLE with a ROC AUC value of 0.83 was deciphered (Fig. 2E). A similar distinct discrimination was observed using PCA-based analysis (Figs. 2F and 2G). The panel, illustrated as a heat map in Figure 2H, was found to be composed of cytokines (e.g. IL-16 and IFN-γ), complement proteins (e.g. C4 and Factor B), soluble surface proteins (e.g. CD40 and CD40L) as well as other proteins (e.g. IgM). Taken together, the results thus showed that a multiplexed panel of serum biomarkers discriminating NonActive SLE vs. Active SLE, i.e. reflecting disease activity, could be delineated.

Robustness of the classifications

To test the robustness of the data set with respect to the above classifications, we randomly divided the entire data set in 9 additional pairs of training and test sets, and re-ran all three of the above comparisons. The results showed that all 10 comparisons resulted in a median ROC AUC value of 0.94 (range 0.83-0.98) for Active SLE vs. controls (Fig. 3A), 0.77 (0.65- 0.98) for NonActive SLE vs. controls (Fig. 3B), and 0.72 (0.59-0.88) for Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE (Fig. 3C). Thus, the data indicated that the power and robustness of the classification varied, and decreased in the order of Active SLE vs. N (high) > NonActive SLE vs. N (medium to high), and Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE (low to medium). Apart from illustrating the robustness of the data, it also outlined the importance of how the samples were divided on the subsequent data analysis.

Furthermore, the frequency at which each biomarker occurred in these ten 25-plex signatures is shown in Figures 3D to 3F for all markers present six or more times. The data showed that the identity of the top markers varied, as could be expected, but that a core of 8 biomarkers were constant (present in at least 8 of 10 signatures) and highly overlapping (Cystatin C, Sialle x, C3, CD40, TGF-βΙ , and MCP-1 ) between Active SLE vs. Normal and NonActive SLE vs. Normal. In contrast, only three core biomarkers (Factor B, Cystatin C, and C1 q) were pinpointed for Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE. Of note, the latter classification also resulted in the lowest median ROC AUC value (cfs. Figs. 3A to 3C). This could indicate a more pronounced impact of biological heterogeneity among, in particular the active SLE patients, on the process of defining serum biomarkers reflecting disease activity. In more detail, how the samples were divided between the training and test sets will more likely play a key role in this particular biomarker identification process, since SLE patients can display similar disease activity in terms of SLEDAI-2K, but based on very different biological (clinical) features.

Biomarkers reflecting the biology of disease activity

Since the biology of disease activity will not only be reflected by biomarkers identified as being best suited for classification based on backward elimination (see above), we also addressed biomarkers identified as being significantly differentially expressed (p < 0.05) based on signal intensities and/or fold changes. To this end, the combined non-redundant top 31 differentially expressed biomarker list for Active SLE vs. Normal, NonActive SLE vs. Normal, and Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE is shown in Figure 4A. Interestingly, a variety of biomarkers were found to be de-regulated, such as soluble cytokine receptors (e.g. IL- 1 ra), cytokines (IL-16, and IFN-γ), soluble surface proteins (e.g. CD40), complement proteins (e.g. C1q, C3, and C4), and several other proteins (e.g. Cystatin C and IgM). The de-regulated patterns of C1q, C4, and cystatin C is highlighted (Fig. 4B). Thus, the results showed that a multiplexed panel of deregulated biomarkers reflecting SLE disease activity could be deciphered.

Next, C1q was selected in an attempt to validate the array findings using an orthogonal method. To this end, the levels of C1q, as determined using our recombinant antibody arrays, were compared to those obtained using a clinically implement method (rocket Immunoelectrophoresis) (Fig. 4C). The results showed that a similar pattern of de-regulated levels of C1q was observed for Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE. Hence, the observed array data for C1q was validated using an orthogonal method. Refined biomarkers reflecting high disease activity

To find better biomarkers reflecting disease activity, SLE patients displaying high activity (in terms of SLEDAI-2K) were selected (denoted HighActive SLE) (SLEDAI-2k≥16) and their serum protein profiles were re-compared to those of normal controls and NonActive SLE. The classification was performed adopting a leave-one-out cross-validation, the most stringent approach that can be employed when the sample cohorts were too small to justify the samples to be split into training and test sets.

The results showed that a ROC AUC value of 0.98 was obtained (Fig. 5A), demonstrating that HighActive SLE vs. normal controls could be differentiated with a high discriminatory power. The top 20 significantly differentially expressed (p < 0.05) proteins are shown as a heat map (Fig. 4A). The biomarker list contained variety of de-regulated proteins, such as soluble cytokine receptors (e.g. IL-1ra), cytokines (IL-2, IL-8, IL-18, and MCP-1), complement proteins (e.g. C1 esterase inhibitory), and several other proteins (e.g. Cystatin C, Sialle x, and IgM). Of note, several antibodies directed against the same protein, but targeting different epitopes, gave similar results, further supporting the observations.

In comparison, HighActive SLE vs. NonActive SLE displayed a ROC AUC value of 0.87, also indicating a high discriminatory power (Fig. 5B). Compared to HighActive SLE vs. normal controls, the top 20 significantly differentially expressed (p < 0.05) proteins were, as could be expected, found to display a less distinct heat map (cfs. Figs. 5A and 5B). Among the de-regulated biomarkers, a range of proteins were observed, such as soluble cytokine receptors (e.g. IL-1ra), cytokines (IL-2, IL-5, IL-12, and MCP-1), complement proteins (e.g. C4 and C1q), and several other proteins (e.g. Cystatin C and Sialle x). Again, the observations were supported by the fact that several antibodies directed against the same protein gave similar profiles. To further support the data, two proteins (C4 and C1q), were selected, and their expression profiles were compared to those determined using orthogonal methods (rocket immunoelectrophoresis (C1q) and tubidometry (C4)). The data showed that the protein expression profiles, obtained using antibody microarrays, could be validated in both cases (Figure 6).

Importance of phenotype

Disease phenotype could be one, of several, potential confounding factors, in defining serum biomarkers reflecting SLE disease activity. In an attempt to address this, the samples were also grouped according to phenotype (SLE1 , SLE2, and SLE3) and parts of the classifications were re-run (for those groups where sufficient number of samples were still obtained). The classifications were performed adopting a leave-one-out cross-validation.

The results showed Active SLE vs. normal controls could be discriminated with a high ROC AUC value independent of phenotype (SLE1 - 0.95; SLE2 - 0.95; SLE3 - 0.98) (Fig. 7). Similarly, NonActive SLE vs. normal controls could also be discriminated irrespective of phenotype (SLE2 - 0.090; SLE3 - 0.78) (Figs. 7B and 7C). Finally, Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE could also be classified irrespective of disease phenotype, albeit with lower ROC AUC values (SLE2 - 0.79; SLE3 - 0.69). Hence, the data indicated that phenotype was not a key confounding factor for pinpointing multiplexed serum biomarkers mirroring disease activity.

Monitoring of disease activity over time

Finally, in a first attempt to explore whether SLE disease activity could be monitored over time, a limited set of longitudinal samples were profiled. To this end, 4 patients were selected as showcase, and 4 serum samples per patient were collected over time (within < 3.3. years) at flares and remissions (3 Active vs. 1 NonActive, 2 Active vs. 2 NonActive, or 1 Active vs. 3 NonActive). For each patient, the top≤ 20 de-regulated proteins were identified using multi-group comparisons, and the samples were visualized using supervised hierarchical clustering in combination with heat-maps (Fig. 8). A variety of deregulated proteins were indicated, including cytokines (e.g. IL-10, IL-12, IL-18, IFN-γ, and MCP-1 ), complement proteins (e.g. C3, C4, and C5), soluble surface proteins (e.g. CD40), as well as other proteins (e.g. IgM and Sialle x). As before, these pilot observations were supported by that several antibodies directed against the same protein, but targeting different epitopes, gave similar profiles. For all 4 patients, the samples clustered as two groups, Active vs. NonActive, meaning that the longitudinal samples collected ate flares were more similar to each other than to those collected at remission, and vice versa. This further supports the notion that crude serum contains information (biomarkers) reflecting disease activity that could be harvested using affinity proteomics, indicating the potential for monitoring disease activity over time.

Discussion

Biomarkers that could be used to detect, monitor, and/or even forecast SLE flares would be a very valuable clinical tool (9, 11 ). Despite major efforts, it is clear that the quest for such high-performing markers, preferentially based on a blood test, is still at an early stage (37). Since we can only manage what we can measure, additional and/or refined methodologies for protein expression profiling of crude clinical samples will be essential. Here, we have expanded previous efforts (19, 20) (Nordstrom er a/, submitted; Delfani er a/, 2016, supra), and further showed that a single drop of blood harboured significant amount of SLE related information, in the format of relevant biological biomarkers, that could be harvested, using recombinant antibody microarrays.

25-plex panels of biomarkers reflecting SLE disease activity (and SLE) were defined, including group of proteins such as complement proteins (e.g. C1q, C1 esterase inhibitor, C3, C4, C5, and Factor B), cytokines (e.g. IL-1 ra, IL-2, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-16, IL-18, IFN-γ, MCP-1 , TGF-βΙ , and TNF-a), cytokine receptors (cytokines (e.g. IL1 ra), soluble surface proteins (e.g. CD40 and CD40L), and other proteins (e.g. Cystatin C, Sialle x, and IgM). These biomarker panels could be used to classify active SLE, although the power of classification varied from high (ROC AUC of 0.98) to low (AUC of 0.69) depending the precise comparison at hand. In agreement, some of these markers have in previous work also been found to be associated with SLE flares (and/or SLE per see), see e.g. (4, 7-1 1 , 38, 39). But the markers were then mainly explored as single biomarkers and/or low-plex panels, displaying varying (low) performance.

When comparing the core of the 8 most robust (frequently occurring) markers for Active SLE vs. N with NonActive SLE vs. N, 6 of 8 biomarkers were found to overlap (Cystatin C, Sialle x, CD40, TGF-βΙ , C3, and MCP-1 ). Serum Cystatin C is a biomarker that has been found to be associated with renal impairment in SLE, and thus deregulated in SLE (40, 41). Imbalance of T-helper subsets (TH1 , TH2, and TH17) and regulatory T-cells has been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE (42). In such context, sialle x, or sialyl lewis x, has been shown to identify highly differentiated and most suppressive FXP3 hi9h regulatory T cells involved in flares (43). Deregulated levels of CD40 has been observed in SLE, and autoreactive B cells and its abnormal CD40 signalling play important roles in the pathogenesis of SLE (44). Of note, de-regulated levels of CD40L, which binds to CD40, has also been frequently observed and correlated with SLE disease activity (45). In fact, CD40L was differentially expressed when comparing Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE. Further, deregulated serum levels of TGF-βΙ has been shown to be associated with renal damage in SLE, in particular for patients with high disease activity (46). Altered levels of several complement proteins, including C3, has often been used as a marker for disease activity (47). MCP-1 is a leukocyte chemotactic factor that has been associated with renal injury, poor prognosis, and disease activity (48). Hence, the biomarkers of this core overlap were found to be biologically relevant markers.

Instead, focusing on the serum signature discriminating Active SLE vs. NonActive SLE, the core of 3 most robust (frequently occurring) included Factor B, C1q, and Cystatin C. Factor B is often used as an indicator for alternative pathway activation of the complement system. Notably, previous work has shown Factor B activation products in SLE to be marker(s) of severe disease activity (49). Furthermore, the levels of classical complement pathway components, such as C1q, have often been found to be altered in patients with severe disease and high disease activity (47). When reviewing the remaining seven most robust (frequently occurring) biomarkers reflecting disease activity, at least five (MCP-1 , IL-9, IL- 5, IL-1 β, and CD40) have been shown to be associated with SLE and reflect disease activity (44, 48, 50-52). While RANTES have been shown to be associated with SLE, no correlation with disease activity has yet been confirmed (53). In our study, RANTES was indicated in the core signature reflecting flares 7 of 10 times. Several serum biomarkers reflecting flares were detected, outlining the potential of the approach. Notably, additional biomarkers (e.g. IL1-ra, IL-2, and IL- 2), a priori known to be associated with SLE disease activity (11 , 39, 54), were delineated when the group of SLE patients with active disease were reduced to those with high activity only. Although the precise role of IL-11 in SLE is yet unknown, considering its similarities with IL-6, it could lead to a lupus flare.

While this study showed that flares could be detected, it is limited by the fact that only the endpoints, remission vs. "full flare", were studied. As a limited showcase, we analyzed 4 patients with 4 samples each collected over time at flares and/or remissions. While the sample set is too small to draw definite conclusions, it indicated the potential of using the approach for monitoring flares over time. It will, however, be required to profile larger independent sample cohorts, composed of many well-characterized patients, each with numerous samples collected over time at frequent time-points at flares and/or remissions to demonstrate and establish serological-based tests for monitoring and potentially even forecasting of flares in a stringent manner. The clinical impact of such potential tests are, however, significant.

Taken together, in this study we have shown that condensed (n≤ 25), multiplexed panels of serum biomarkers detecting, and monitoring, SLE flares could be delineated.

VEGF* Vascular endothelial growth factor 4 a) The specificity, affinity (normally in the nM range), and on-chip functionality of all of these phage display derived scFv antibodies were ensured by using i) stringent phage-display selection and screening protocols (using different sample formats, ranging from pure proteins and mixtures of pure proteins to crude samples) (16), ii) multiple clones (1 to 9) per protein, and iii) a molecular design, adapted for microarray applications (1-3) (Sail et al unpublished observations). In addition, the specificity of several selected antibodies (marked with an *) have been further validated using pure proteins, mixtures of pure proteins, as well as well-characterized, standardized serum samples (with known levels of the targeted analytes, spiked with known level of specific protein(s) and/or specific protein(s) depleted), and/or orthogonal methods, such as mass spectrometry (affinity pulldown experiments), ELISA, MesoScaleDiscovery assay, and cytometric bead assay, as well as using blocking experiments (4-12).
