Autoantibody Profiling Using Human Autoantigen Protein Array and AlphaScreen

Methods Mol Biol. 2018:1868:93-112. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-8802-0_10.

Abstract

Autoantibodies that recognize self-antigens are believed to have close relationship diseases such as autoimmune diseases, cancer, and lifestyle diseases. Analysis of autoantibodies is essential for investigating pathology mechanisms, diagnosis, and therapeutics of these diseases. We developed autoantibody profiling assay using cell-free synthesized protein array and high-throughput screening technology. Our assay system can sensitively detect interaction between recombinant antigen protein and autoantibody and efficiently analyze autoantibody profiling in patients' sera.

Keywords: AlphaScreen; Autoantibody; Autoantibody profiling; Autoantigen; Protein array; Wheat cell-free protein synthesis.
