Protein Microarrays: Approaches to Printing

Protein microarrays allow the immobilization and detection of large numbers of proteins on small surfaces. Three key steps in the protein microarray workflow are printing, surface selection, and imaging. Optimizing the printing process is important to minimize contamination between samples. The Omnigrid and Microgrid systems can print contact-style onto 3D substrates with controls to reduce surface damage. Multiplexed protein microarrays on plates allow high-throughput screening by testing many samples in parallel. NovaRay imaging supports multiple array formats and wavelengths for detection. An example experiment showed specific and reproducible detection of target proteins in individual wells of a multiplexed plate with no carryover between wells.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Using proven and existing technology as well as specialized technology designed specifically for protein arrays.
- #5: Diagram: shows a typical protein array experiment: proteins being printed, assay, and imaging.
- #6: From Genbank search microarray AND protein in title
- #7: 3 important factors – this has brought the 3 companies together. Printing (this talk) Genomic Solutions, Substrates and surfaces (Schott), and Imaging (AlphaInnotech)
- #9: Quick note about optimizing protein microarrays
- #10: One choice of substrate – 3 dimensional Talk about the Slide H: see below. For FAST: using nitrocellulose like a Western blot. Some FAST slides have individual “pads” of nitrocellulose Nexterion® Slide H is ideally suited for covalent immobilization of peptides and proteins such as antibodies, antibody fragments, enzymes, or receptors. The permeable, 3D hydrogel coating preserves the native three-dimensional structure of proteins thereby maintaining protein stability and functionality. Nexterion® Slide H enables excellent signal-to-background ratios and exceptionally high linear dynamic ranges compared to conventional 2D coatings by a unique combination of low non-specific binding characteristics, high loading capacity, and the use of glass with low auto-fluorescence. Even very low intensity signals, such as those from low-abundance proteins or weakly expressed genes can be reliably detected and quantified. The density of the reactive groups is consistent over the entire surface and is optimized to maximize binding capacity. The reactive chemistry is stable and remains active even during very long spotting runs.
- #11: Want to use traditional proven DNA microarray instrumentation – such as our high-throughput Micgrid (120 slides) Or the Omnigrid Accent (50 slides) medium throughput. No changes – still use contact printing with split pins.
- #12: Exaggerated image of a split pin hitting the surface of a slide – want to avoid the image on the left For these machines this is done via the software.
- #13: Adjust so there is deposit of protein, but no damage to the surface.
- #14: You do calibrate the point at which the pins touch (Target Height). In addition has Soft Touch. When slowed down – reduce/eliminate damage to the surface.
- #15: When the contact of the split pin is optimized can eliminate 3d surface damage – image on the left
- #16: Due the composition and viscosity – it can be a challenge to try and minimize or eliminate carry over between samples
- #17: Have complete control over the was steps – Omngrid has an onboard sonicator. Can empirically determine what wash steps and cycles work best
- #18: Also have complete control over the wash cycles/steps. Can use etoh in stationary baths
- #19: Experiment: print 6 spots (red food dye in 1X PBS), wash, print 6 spots in 1X PBS (no dye) (Cy3 channel) Image on left shows carry over from column 3 tp 4
- #20: Gone through the optimization – real experiment – Allowed to bind 1 hours at RT (resuspended in PBST), washed with PBST
- #21: Using DNA microarray equipment to do the assay
- #22: Scanned on cy3 channel – conversion of a Western blot to a microarray format Want to show that a western type assay can be converted to a micro array format
- #24: Switch gears – a lot of the first stuff remains true – optimization, wash cycles etc… Get away from 3d substrates to more traditional – epoxy etc… Also – multiplexed Assay
- #25: Allows you to do a large number of samples in parallel on the same slide or in a plate Slide – can use automation set up for slides – printer Plate – can use automation for plates – plate handling, liquid handling, plate readers, plus a large number of samples in parallel
- #26: Going to focus on the plate mutliplex assay
- #27: Start on technical aspects of MTP (2 slides)
- #29: We decided on what type of plate type – MTP Now what to use for printing - No damage, be able to wash, previous part Also mechanical ability, software use
- #30: Change from slide holder to plate holder on robot Choose what type of plate, subarray pattern, how many plates - replicates
- #32: Software allows you pick how many spots in each well, replicates, and which wells to use - replicates
- #33: Have decided on using MTP, and GSI printer But traditional microarray (slide) scanner will not work Use the Novaray
- #35: Technical aspects (3 slides)
- #37: Uniformity of image over the surface of the slide Over multiple wells – important for plate arrays
- #40: MTP/MPX, GSI arrayers, Novaray, Integrated Mulitplex protein microarray platform
- #41: What kind of results -
- #42: Demonstration of the integrated multiplexed protein microarray platform – antibody binding assay Important – can print a lot less when not using 3D substrate before 5mg/ml – 50 fold less, 100ug/ml target – 10 fold less 1 hour at room temperature following Schott Nexterion protocol – done on lab bench
- #43: The last three columns of the plate
- #44: Left – both printed with IgG – left target , right only PBST Left done on MTP Right – earlier work done on the MPX 16 slides
- #45: Lastly, high quality images generated – Good spot morphology, low background,
- #47: GSI, Schott, and Alpha come together to simplify the protein microarray workflow
