Area of Science:

  • Cellular biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Systems biology

Background:

  • Signal transduction in mammalian cells involves complex protein networks.
  • Accurate measurement of protein amounts and activities is crucial for understanding these networks.
  • Antibody (Ab) microarrays have been used for protein quantification but analyzing intracellular signals requires further development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop multiplex Ab arrays for quantifying intracellular signal transduction proteins in crude cell lysates.
  • To integrate these arrays with microtiter plate technology for high-throughput analysis.
  • To apply the technology to monitor ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in human tumor cells.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of multiplex Ab arrays sensitive to protein amounts and modification states.
