Scanned fluorescence image of an antibody microarray detected by two-color RCA. 96 baits including 84 antibodies were spotted onto microscope slides coated with nitrocellulose. 12 identical arrays were printed on each of seven slides. Each antibody was printed in triplicate on each array in order to form an 18 by 16 array of dots. A test sample labeled with biotin and a pooled reference sample labeled with digoxigenin were co-incubated on the microarray, and bound proteins from both samples were detected by RCA. The microarray was scanned for Cy3 fluorescence (from the test sample) and Cy5 fluorescence (from the reference sample).
