The majority of experiments were conducted in anonymized residual research samples. Samples for the matrix comparison experiment (maximum 25 mL) were collected as part of quality control for biobanked blood samples. Blood samples were taken from patients of the Department of Cardiology during routine venipuncture or from healthy individuals after informed consent for blood collection for the Cardiovascular Biobank of the German Heart Centre Munich was obtained. The blood collection for biobanking was approved by the Ethics Commission of the Technical University Munich (Nr. 5943/13; 16 October 2013).
S monovette 9 ml k3e
The S-Monovette® 9 mL K3E is a blood collection system designed for the collection of 9 mL of venous blood. It features a closed system and a pre-evacuated tube to facilitate blood collection.

Plasma Collection and Esophageal Biopsy Protocol
The biopsies from 23 patients with RE, BE, or EAC were collected only at the Department of Gastroenterology, University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic. Four biopsies were taken from each patient's esophagus during the endoscopic examination of the upper GIT. Two samples were collected from the part with endoscopically visible pathological changes and two from the part without such apparent changes. In this way, we acquired two pairs of samples, each pair containing one sample from the seemingly pathological and one from the seemingly healthy tissue. One pair was placed into 1.8 mL cryovials (SPL Life Sciences, Korea) with 1 mL of RNAlater™ Stabilization Solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and stored at −70°C until RNA extraction. The other pair was sent to the Department of Pathology, Faculty Hospital Brno, Czech Republic, for histopathological confirmation of the diagnosis.

Quantification of IL-8 in Human Plasma
IL-8 plasma levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits [IL-8 Human Magnetic Kit for Luminex™ Platform (Catalog No. LHC0081M, Novex™, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) with Human/Monkey Extracellular Protein Buffer Magnetic Reagent Kit (Catalog No. LHB0001M, Novex™, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA)] and software (Luminex 200TM analyzer with xPONENT 3.1 Software, Luminex Corporation, USA; MilliplexTM Analyst v 3.4 Software, VigeneTech, Carlisle, MA USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Those samples with IL-8 values under the limit of detection (<4.40 pg/mL) were arbitrarily assigned a value of 4.39 pg/mL for the statistical analysis.
Genetic Variation Profiling of Monocytes
5-HTTLPR polymorphism was analyzed as previously described46 (link). FKBP5 genotype of rs1360780 was evaluated using high resolution melt analysis (HRM; Biorad). Further information can be found in Supplementary Table
EDTA Plasma Collection and Storage
Plasma Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease
Plasma was collected in EDTA Monovettes (S-Monovette 9 mL K3E; Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany), centrifuged at 2000× g for 10 min, at room temperature (RT), to obtain EDTA blood plasma. Samples were aliquoted and stored at −80 °C. The Controls group included 15 age-matched individuals with a mean age of 65.60 ± 9.36 years, and the AD group comprised 15 individuals with a mean age of 67.00 ± 9.82 years (p-value = 0.69). AD diagnosis followed the 2011 McKhann criteria and included cognitive testing (Mini-Mental State Examination and Clock-Drawing Test), CSF neurochemical biomarker triplet assessment, and/or PET scan imaging.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
