Protein array analysis is a high-throughput technique that allows for the simultaneous examination of protein expression, interactions, and functions on a large scale. By immobilizing proteins or protein-specific ligands on a solid surface, such as a glass or plastic slide, protein array analysis provides valuable insights into protein-protein interactions, post-translational modifications (PTMs), and overall protein behavior in various biological contexts.
Protein arrays vary in design, from dot blots that display dozens of proteins to more advanced membrane protein arrays with hundreds of proteins. The most sophisticated protein microarrays can assess thousands of proteins simultaneously, offering an unprecedented level of throughput. This makes protein array analysis indispensable for proteomics research, biomarker discovery, and drug development.

Case Study
Enhancing COVID-19 Diagnosis with Protein Array Analysis Technology
The coronavirus antigen microarray was validated to detect antibody profiles from both pre-pandemic and COVID-19 convalescent samples. By incorporating antigens from SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and common respiratory viruses, the array achieved near complete discrimination between these groups. This protein array analysis outperformed traditional PCR testing, offering a more accurate estimation of COVID-19 disease burden. The array can be used for diagnostics, epidemiological studies, and correlating antibody responses with clinical outcomes, advancing both research and public health efforts.

FAQ
Q: What methods are used to image protein arrays?
Protein arrays are imaged using fluorescence or chemiluminescence detection. Fluorescence imaging involves scanning with a laser to detect emitted light from labeled proteins, while chemiluminescence captures light from enzyme reactions. These methods provide high sensitivity, enabling accurate quantification of protein expression, interactions, and modifications in high-throughput analysis.
