Abstract

The reverse-phase protein array (RPPA) is to use highly specific antibodies to interrogate pan or posttranslationally modified protein targets, such as phosphorylated proteins, particularly the proteins involved in cell signaling pathways. In this protocol we will cover the preparation of cell (or tissue) lysates, sample printing, antibody validation, antibody interrogation, signal amplification steps, imaging and data analysis. In this protocol, colorimetric catalyzed signal amplification (CSA) chemistry, fluorescence and near-infrared (NIR) based detection methods will be described.
