Popis: Protein Microarrays enable the analysis of multiple binding events in parallel. Based on patented UNIclone technology, we have established a reproducible protein biochip platform to determine specific binding profiles to multiple targets in a quantitative way. The UNIchip protein biochips provide a novel and unique tool for antibody characterization and ranking. Potential off-target activities can be detected by establishing a quantitative binding profile of an antibody to 400 different, unrelated targets. Together with on-chip determination of sensitivity, linearity and dynamic range the quantitative fingerprint enables a unique performance ranking and specificity analysis of antibodies. We have analyzed the performance of three block-buster biotherapeutics directed against TNF-alpha. The biotherapeutics show a clear differentiation both with regard to their binding profile to unrelated proteins as well as their binding affinity to the cognate target on the biochip. The quantitative fingerprint also offers a novel strategy for antibody pair selection in ELISA development.
