Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunome slide design and protein categories on the protein microarray. ( A ) The Immunome protein microarray consists of four identical subarrays, each containing 1631 different proteins in addition to 11 control proteins (BCCP, BSA, Cy3BSA, IgA, IgG, IgM, and four different control probes for the BCCP tag acting as negative controls). The control proteins are located between the subarrays. ( B ) The proteins spotted on the microarray represent different protein groups, such as cancer-associated antigens, transcription factors, kinases, and signaling proteins. The number of proteins in each category is shown. BCCP biotin carboxyl carrier protein, BSA bovine serum albumin.
Article Snippet: The intensity of the individual spots was measured using a microarray laser scanner (Innoscan 710AL, Innopsys, Carbonne, France) using Mapix software (Ver.
