  • Protein microarray device having internal calibrators and methods of using therefor
    Publication number: 20060154299
    Abstract: The present invention relates to protein microarray devices having an internal calibrator, kits containing such devices, and methods of using such devices. Such a device comprises a plurality of protein arraying pads on a support substrate, a plurality of protein arraying spots on each pad, and a calibrator disposed on each pad, each calibrator comprising a series of spots of increasing concentration of a protein. In preferred embodiments, each pad has an immunoglobulin calibrator that is of the same species as the proteins that are reactive to the protein arraying spots. An advantage of the present invention is that one can use reliably use microporous surfaces for conducting multiplexed protein microimmunoassays with an assurance as to surface-to-surface fluorescence variability on a microarray device.
