Protein/Cytokine Arrays as an Extension of qRT-PCR

  • Logical extension of PCR Arrays that can verify that changes at

the mRNA level (gene expression) correspond to changes at the protein level

  • Can also be used to identify the presence and amount of

various proteins/cytokines in a sample

  • Viewed as an alternative to running ELISAs

Brief Overview of the Workflow

1. Researchers will submit their samples

▫ Plasma, serum, cell supernatants, etc.

2. Purchase kits from various vendors ▫ EMD Millipore, R&D Systems, Bio-Rad, etc. 3. Kits contain magnetic beads that already have capture antibodies and are fluorescently coated

Miniaturization of Protein Arrays

  • Incorporated Curiox Biosystems’ DropArray Technology
  • Typically run the assays on a regular 96-well microtiter

plate using handheld magnet (bottom left)

  • Conversion has allowed a 5-fold reduction in the amount

sample volume and reagents required
