We used a proximity extension assay (immune-oncology panel, Olink Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden) to analyze the plasma protein profiling in 77 IIM patients and 53 HCs. In the proximity extension assays, plasma proteins were dually recognized by pairs of antibodies coupled to a cDNA strand that ligates when brought into proximity by its target. A proximity-dependent DNA polymerization event was caused by the addition of a DNA polymerase, generating a unique PCR target sequence. The generated DNA sequence was detected and quantified using a microfluidic real-time PCR instrument.
