Epitope Mapping Using Peptide Microarray

Epitope mapping allows the identification of polyclonal antibodies produced as a response to cytotoxins, allergens, neuronal or inflammatory conditions and, in autoimmune diseases to autoantigens. Routine assays for autoimmune response profiling are generally performed by ELISAs and fluorescence immunoassays. Individual assays are performed in microtiter plates, with each well representing a single antigen. Peptide microarrays provide … Continued

Applications of Protein Microarrays for Biomarker Discovery.

In a recent paper published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation the immune response associated with elevated intermittent ocular hypertension has been evaluated. An antigen microarray assay was performed with ten different antigens spotted on ONCYTE® nitrocellulose film slides and used to probe serum from an intermittent ocular hypertension animal model. High Intraocular pressure is a main risk … Continued

Sensitive and Accurate Multi-Color RPPA Using Grace Bio-Labs ArrayCAM Protein Microarray System

Introduction Profiling sets of multiple protein markers and signaling pathways is becoming the standard method for biomarker discovery, accurate disease diagnosis, and monitoring of therapeutic response. Low-cost, high throughput multiplexed assay platforms that can provide specific, sensitive, and reproducible measurements, featuring reliable and robust assay controls along with easy to use methodologies will yield increased … Continued

Improved Classification of Influenza Infection, Future Susceptibility and Pandemic Epidmiology using ONCYTE Porous Nitrocellulose Film Microarrays

An interesting paper furthering the expansion of infectious disease serological applications using ONCYTE porous nitrocellulose film slides was described by researchers out of the Netherlands for classifying influenza infections and susceptibility to future infections. Microarrays printed on ONCYTE AVID film slides used purified recombinant influenza virus hemagglutinin antigens (HA1) from various subtypes (H1, H2, H3, … Continued

Quantum Nanocrystal (QNC) Detection and ONCYTE AVID Porous Nitrocellulose Results in Improved RPPA Quantitation and Dynamic Range

ONCYTE porous nitrocellulose (PNC) film slides are a 3-D substrate very well suited for protein microarrays due to its high binding capacity and ability to retain proteins’ conformation and antigenic sites. PNC slides have proven extremely valuable for Reverse-Phase Protein Arrays (RPPAs) in the field of cancer research.In recent years, interest in further improving the … Continued

Review of Mujawar et al Analytical Chemistry – Distribution of Biomolecules in Porous Nitrocellulose Films

An interesting paper in (Analytical Chemistry) describes the use of confocal fluorescence section imaging to analyze protein distribution in microarray spots on nitrocellulose film slides. By scanning and imaging through the Z dimension of a printed spot of fluor labeled protein, a 3-dimensional quantitation of fluorophore density in the films was obtained, showing that commercial … Continued

Multiplex Microarrays: The Next Generation ELISA

The hallmark of chronic diseases is the production of highly specific autoantibodies (1,2). These autoantibodies are increasingly measured to guide clinical decision making. The goal of these measurements is to define intracellular signal pathway activation profiles. These profiles can be integrated with clinical information to generate “biosignatures” for individual patients, the goal of which is personalized … Continued

Sensitive Detection of Total Protein on RPPA using Fast Green

Reverse phase protein arrays (RPPA) are designed for sensitive quantitation of a target protein in a very small sample of tissue lysate, and multiplex analysis of many samples in one experiment. This technology holds great promise for the identification and analysis of critical biomarkers for disease states in patient samples and for high-throughput drug screening … Continued

High Capacity Porous Nitrocellulose Microarray Substrates Enable Whole Proteome Serology Screening Assays for Antigenicity Profiling of Infectious Disease Agents

Insight into the dynamics of pathogenic infectivity has been greatly enhanced by studies using whole proteome microarray technology [1]. Techniques allowing high throughput production of recombinant proteins representing comprehensive antigenic potential of pathogenic bacteria and viruses allow examination of the degrees to which specific antigenic proteins are involved in human serological response.The true value of … Continued

Beating Background Fluorescence on Nitrocellulose Film-Slides

Near Infrared Detection with Porous Nitrocellulose Films Improves Sensitivity for Protein Arrays. Despite some clear performance advantages of porous nitrocellulose Film-Slides for protein arrays, one objection to their use is the inherent fluorescence background detected on most scanners when using popular organic dyes with visible emission wavelengths (500-650 nm). However, fluorescence detection in near infrared … Continued

Immunoassays: Protein Arrays vs. ELISA and Westerns

Studies of biological systems have expanded beyond the ‘one gene, one protein’ paradigm to the field of proteomics, or studying large numbers of proteins that act in a concert of complex biological systems. Thus in the post-genome era, technology has been driven to deliver multiplex assays that allow us to monitor multiple proteins in parallel, … Continued
