The aim of the array was to determine the B6 mouse sera IgG and IgM reactivity profile to linear peptide epitopes. Pooled sera from three 6-9 month old B6 mice was diluted at 1:200 for IgG specific analysis or 1:1000 for IgM specific analysis and incubated on a PEPperPRINT peptide microarray platform printed with peptide autoantigens
Overall design
Pooled sera from three 6-9 month old B6 mice was profiled for IgG or IgM-specific analysis of autoantibody reactivity to peptide auto-epitopes printed in duplicate on a PepperPrint Chip.
