Abstract

Protein microarrays (protein chips), due to their high throughput, have great potential to reduce the cycle time of drug discovery and to improve the efficiency of medical diagnostics. A great deal of effort has been made to facilitate the development of protein chips, such as the antibody microarrays. High-throughput fabrication of purified high-affinity probes is now one of the bottlenecks for protein microarrays. We discuss here three novel strategies to fabricate probes, namely, single chain antibodies displayed by phage, protein-oligonucleotide conjugates, and aptamers, which are promising in the protein chip technology.
