Label-Free and High-Throughput Detection of Protein Microarrays by Oblique-Incidence Reflectivity Difference Method

Abstract

We label-free detected the biological process of preparing a microarray that includes 400 spots of mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) as well as the specific hybridization between mouse IgG and goat anti-mouse IgG by an oblique-incidence reflectivity difference (OI-RD) method. The detection results after each process including printing, washing, blocking, and hybridization, demonstrate that the OI-RD method can trace the preparation process of a microarray and detect the specific hybridization between antigens and antibodies. OI-RD is a promising method for label-free and high-throughput detection of biological microarrays.
