Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered as promising candidates for predicting patients who respond to immunotherapy. Nevertheless, simultaneous detection of multiple EVs markers still presents significant technical challenges. In this work, we developed a high-throughput microdroplet-enhanced chip (MEC) platform, which utilizes thousands of individual microchambers (∼pL) as reactors, accelerating the detection efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas systems and increasing the sensitivity by up to 100-fold (aM level). Ten biomarkers (including 5 RNAs and 5 proteins) from patients’ EVs are successfully detected on one chip, and the comprehensive markers show increased accuracy (AUC 0.911) than the individual marker for the efficacy prediction of immunotherapy. This platform provides a high-throughput yet sensitive strategy for screening immunotherapy markers in clinical.
