- Background: Antibody-based microarrays are a developing tool for high-throughput proteomics in health and disease. However, in order to enable global proteome profiling, novel miniaturized high-density antibody array formats must be developed. Results: In this proof-of-concept study, we have designed a miniaturized planar recombinant (single-chain Fragment variable). antibody array technology platform for multiplexed profiling of non-fractionated, directly labelled serum samples. The size of the individual spot features was reduced 225-times (78.5 μm(2)/spot) and the array density was increased 19-times (38,000 spots/cm(2)). These miniaturized, multiplexed arrays were produced, using a desktop nanofabrication system based on dip-pen nanolithography technology, and interfaced with a high-resolution fluorescent-based scanner. The reproducibility, sensitivity, specificity, and applicability of the set-up were demonstrated by profiling a set of well-characterized serum samples. Conclusion: The designed antibody array platform opens up new possibilities for large-scale, multiplex profiling of crude proteomes in a miniaturized fashion.
