The overall goal of this technique is to rapidly screen for autoantibodies in a multiplex fashion. This method can help identify key questions in the field of autoimmunity, such as which autoantibodies are correlated with different disease states.

We describe here a method to generate customizable antigen microarrays that can be used for the simultaneous detection of serum IgG and IgM autoantibodies from humans and mice. These arrays allow for high-throughput and quantitative detection of antibodies against any antigens or epitopes of interest.
