Abstract:
A major challenge in drug discovery is the definition of the activity of therapeutic compounds before they enter clinical trials. Currently, many tools are available to profile drug response at a multiparametric level. Furthermore, the novel discipline of systems biology is offering interpretative cues to the amount of data generated by the so-called omics technologies. Nonetheless, novel approaches are needed to comprehensively evaluate drug response. This review will describe a recent technology for protein profiling, the ImmunoCell-Array, which, in to the authors' opinion, can enter the scenario of profiling technologies with the goal of offering a comprehensive description of proteome dynamics in a cellular context.
