Abstract

A device comprises a solid support and multiple immobilized agents for protein detection is described. The immobilized agents are mainly proteins, such as antibodies and recombinant proteins. The immobilized agents can be synthesized peptides or other small chemicals. Agents are individually deposited in a predetermined order, so that each of the agents can be identified by the specific position it occupies on the support. The immobilized agents on the solid support retain their protein binding capability and specificity. Methods employing the device are extremely powerful in screening protein expression patterns, protein posttranslational modifications and protein--protein interactions.
