Protein Microarrays
In collaboration with Kinexus Bioinformatics, our facility has adapted a proteomics tool to the microarray technology for tracking large numbers of cell signaling proteins. The resulting antibody microarray monitors the activity changes in target signaling proteins in addition to their expression levels in dye-labeled cell and tissue lysates for up to 650 different antibodies that have been arrayed on plastic slides. This product is exclusively produced for Kinexus Bioinformatics Corp. For more information see the company website. |


Protein
microarrays are used to identify protein-protein interactions,
to identify the substrates of protein kinases, or to identify
the targets of biologically active small molecules. The
most common protein microarray is the antibody microarray,
where antibodies are spotted onto the protein chip and
are used as capture molecules to detect proteins from
cell lysate solutions.
