Abstract
Comprehensive protein analyses of plasma are made possible by high-throughput proteomic screens, which may help find new therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers. Patients with cancer are frequently affected by venous thromboembolism (VTE). The limited predictive accuracy of current VTE risk assessment tools highlights the need for new, more targeted biomarkers. Although coagulation biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of VTE have been investigated, none of them have the necessary clinical validation or diagnostic accuracy. Proteomics holds the potential to uncover new biomarkers and thrombotic pathways that impact the risk of thrombosis. This review explores the fundamental methods used in proteomics and focuses on particular biomarkers found in VTE and cancer-associated thrombosis.

Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a central analytic method in biological science for the detection of proteins. Introduction of droplet-based microfluidics allowed the development of miniaturized, less-consuming, and more sensitive ELISA assays by coencapsulating the biological sample and antibody-functionalized particles. We report herein an alternative in-droplet immunoassay format, which avoids the use of particles. It exploits the oil/aqueous-phase interface as a protein capture and detection surface. This is achieved using tailored perfluorinated surfactants bearing azide-functionalized PEG-based polar headgroups, which spontaneously react when meeting at the droplet formation site, with strained alkyne-functionalized antibodies solubilized in the water phase. The resulting antibody-functionalized inner surface can then be used to capture a target protein. This surface capture process leads to concomitant relocation at the surface of a labeled detection antibody and in turn to a drastic change in the shape of the fluorescence signal from a convex shape (not captured) to a characteristic concave shape (captured). This novel droplet surface immunoassay by fluorescence relocation (D-SIRe) proved to be fast and sensitive at 2.3 attomoles of analyte per droplet. It was further demonstrated to allow detection of cytosolic proteins at the single bacteria level.

Abstract
A State of the Art lecture titled “Proteomics in Thrombosis Research” was presented at the ISTH Congress in 2021. In clinical practice, there is a need for improved plasma biomarker‐based tools for diagnosis and risk prediction of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Analysis of blood, to identify plasma proteins with potential utility for such tools, could enable an individualized approach to treatment and prevention. Technological advances to study the plasma proteome on a large scale allows broad screening for the identification of novel plasma biomarkers, both by targeted and nontargeted proteomics methods. However, assay limitations need to be considered when interpreting results, with orthogonal validation required before conclusions are drawn. Here, we review and provide perspectives on the application of affinity‐ and mass spectrometry‐based methods for the identification and analysis of plasma protein biomarkers, with potential application in the field of VTE. We also provide a future perspective on discovery strategies and emerging technologies for targeted proteomics in thrombosis research. Finally, we summarize relevant new data on this topic, presented during the 2021 ISTH Congress.
