THE MICRO-WESTERN ARRAY
CONCEPT
The Micro-Western Array is a newly developed method for the quantification of sample protein abundance and modification described in the Jan 24th online edition of Nature Methods: Systems analysis of EGF receptor signaling dynamics with microwestern arrays. It uses an antibody-based detection of electrophoresed protein similar to an array of hundreds of miniature western blots.
