An antibody array is a form of protein microarray which is a high-throughput technology for protein profiling. In this technology, a collection of antibodies is spotted and fixed on a solid surface such as glass, plastic, membrane, or silicon chip, and the interaction between the antibody and its target antigen is detected. It can be used to detect the levels of protein expression or post-translational modification (PTM).
In a signaling pathway, there are several components such as ligand, receptor, primary effector, second massager, secondary effecter and so on. Dysregulations of biological processes such as apoptosis, inflammation, angiogenesis, immune response and migration often cause dysregulations of signaling pathways and vice versa. An antibody array allows researchers to study the changes of protein level or PTM in signaling pathways through a single experiment.
CD BioSciences offers a variety of antibody array testing services covering a wide range of signaling pathways. With our ELISA based platform for high-throughput protein profiling in cells, tissues, serum, or even culture media, you are freed from lousy work like conventional Western Blots or traditional ELISA.
