Antibody array allows detecting multiple protein expression simultaneously, offering a proteomic view of vital cellular functions. The antibodies used for arrays, however, are problematic and inconsistent. The antibodies raised against naturally folded proteins are not suited for array studies, largely because arrays, just like Western blots, require target proteins to be denatured and linearized to establish concentration-to-binding linearity.
BiCell Scientific Inc is able to raise polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against unfolded target epitope. Such antibodies can dramatically improve the binding specificity on Western blot, which are vital tools of quantitative measurements of protein expression in endogenous cell or tissue samples. BiCell Scientific Inc can now microprint Western blot specific antibodies onto glass slides to make antibody arrays suited for proteomic analyses.
