Biocompatability of surfaces for antibody microarrays: Design of macroporous silicon substrates

In English Antibody microarray is a novel technology with great promise within proteomics. Intense work is under way to evolve this methodology into the high-throughput proteomic research tool needed by the research community. Despite recent advances, there is a growing need for additional highperformance substrates for antibody microarrays as well as for protein arrays in general. In this study, we have sucessfully designed novel, highly biocompatible and well-performing silicon-based supports that has the capacity to play a significant role within current and future antibody and protein microarray applications within the field of proteomics.
