A significant bottleneck for the time-resolved and quantitative description of signaling networks is the limited sample capacity and sensitivity of existing methods. Recently, antibody microarrays have emerged as a promising experimental platform for the quantitative and comprehensive determination of protein abundance and protein phosphorylation. This review summarizes the development of microarray applications involving antibody-based capture of target proteins with a focus on quantitative applications. Technical aspects regarding the production of antibody microarrays, identification of suitable detection and capture antibody pairs, signal detection methods, detection limit, and data analysis are discussed in detail.
