Competing Interests
James R Heath is a founder and board member of Indi Molecular - InDi molecular was spun out of Integrated diagnostics recently, so a declaration of a competing interest with Indi Molecular is now more appropriate. Indi MOlecular is seeking to commercialize the PCC Agent technology. Bert T.Lai is an employee of Indi Molecular. Associated patents are pending. A patent has been filed (not issued) that is related to the capture agent development approach utilized in this paper (PCT/US09/47799/W02009155420). This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in our guide for authors.
