Target proteins

Our scioDiscover and scioPhospho services are based on complex Antibody Microarrays, also called analytical Protein Arrays or Protein Capture Arrays. Within a single experiment 1030 proteins can be profiled in parallel requiring only minimal amounts of sample. The targets proteins were carefully selected over a period of more than 15 years to cover a broad set of different protein classes as well as pathways important in biomedical studies.

Thereby, the protein profiling covers key pathways in various diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders as well as organ failure. Given the wide spectrum of applications and indications the service is ideal for high-content protein expression level analysis from various biological samples. The broad coverage of many important pathways, extracellular and membrane proteins as well as transcription factors, renders scioDiscover a versatile and efficient tool for discovery projects.

Please find below the distribution of the proteins targeted by scioDiscover according their biological processes (Fig.1), their protein classes (Fig.2), their molecular function (Fig.3) as well as their cellular compartment (Fig.4). In addition, pathways covered by scioDiscover are listed in Table 1.

For the pathways TNF signaling, Cell cycle regulation and pathways important in Cancer, Tuberculosis and Huntington's Disease covered targets are depicted in green.

Please contact us for more information regarding targets and pathways covered or to discuss how we can support your study with a highly-parallel protein analysis.

Testimonials

Dr. Bettina Grötsch

"Our lab is working with human osteoclast that were isolated and differentiated from human peripheral blood. Therefore, we were quite limited in cell numbers and protein content for our planned Phosphoprotein analyses. Nonetheless, Sciomics and especially Camille Lowy helped us a lot to test and improve our protein isolation techniques to achieve some interesting phosphoproteome data in human osteoclasts. We were really impressed by the detailed data report and their willingness to discuss and reanalyze the data repeatedly until we got the best results out of our measurements. Even several month after their first report, we could ask for help and suggestions with an immediate reply.  The phosphoproteome analyses completed our preliminary project data and are now published in Frontiers Immunology.  Altogether, we were very happy with the service of Sciomics and special thanks to Camille Lowy and Christoph Schröder who guided us through the whole process."
