Abstract

Protein microarrays offer a global perspective on the function of expressed gene products. However, technical issues related to the stability and dynamic range of microarrays printed with purified protein have hampered their widespread adoption. Taking an alternate approach, the Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Array (NAPPA) is constructed by spotting protein?encoding plasmid DNA at high density, in addressable fashion, on an array surface. Proteins are subsequently generated in situ just prior to experimentation using cell?free expression systems. As such, the NAPPA platform offers a unique and viable alternative that circumvents many of the inherent limitations of spotted protein arrays, enabling diverse functional protein studies including protein?small molecule, protein?protein, antigen?antibody, and protein?nucleic acid interactions. It further offers a versatile and adaptable platform amenable to a variety of capture modalities and expression systems, and, most importantly, construction of the array is accessible to any lab with an array printer and laser slide scanner. This unit is intended to provide a reference for investigators wishing to generate arrays based on this platform, and details (1) the basic construction of cDNA?based protein microarrays from DNA isolation to printing and development, (2) quality?control efforts taken to ensure the usefulness and integrity of microarray data, and (3) a particular example of the application of self?assembling protein arrays to screen for blood?borne antibody biomarkers.

Figure 27.2.1 Schematic illustrating array features printed with plasmid DNA in the presence of capture antibodies and conversion of cDNA to protein by in vitro transcription and translation. Capture antibodies tether and immobilize proteins by binding to the protein‐fused affinity tag.

Figure 27.2.2 A representative high‐density slide printed with plasmid DNA converted to protein by treatment with a cell‐free expression system (left). Plot of the DNA signal obtained from Pico Green staining against the protein signal obtained by staining with anti‐GST antibodies illustrates the relatively tight range of both DNA and protein captured on Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Array (NAPPA).

Figure 27.2.4 (A ) Scraped features that would give erroneously low signal. (B ) Regional biases in slide signal intensity most likely due to technical errors in development. (C ) A microscopic fiber on the array surface that spans a single feature would contribute positive error to signal intensity. (D ) Poor spot morphology of features on the left (versus good features on the right) that may arise from drying during serum challenge and development.

Figure 27.2.5 Plots of the median intensity for all features in a sub‐array or block (printed by a single pin) reveal differences in immunoreactive signal that persist over the majority of the serum‐challenged array (i.e., pin 20, pin 46, pin 35), suggesting pin‐dependent artifacts that may require correction.
