High-throughput antibody microarrays for quantitative proteomic analysis.
The antibody microarray is an intrinsically robust and quantitative system that delivers high-throughput and parallel measurements on particular sets of known proteins. It has become an important proteomics research tool, complementary to the conventional unbiased separation-based and mass spectrometry-based approaches. This review summarizes the technical aspects of production and the application for quantitative proteomic analysis with an emphasis on disease proteomics, especially the identification of biomarkers. Quality control, data analysis methods and the challenges for quantitative assays are also discussed.
