The method is ideally suited for the discovery of biomarkers, with a mix of well-established and exploratory proteins for a wide range of biological diseases and functions. Proteins of particular interest for COVID-19 research (cytokines, chemokines and proteins with known links to viral infections and acute respiratory conditions, etc.) are listed in the Excel file below (short name, Uniprot ID and panel(s) Olink in which the tests are available).
