Biomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :
A miniaturized immunoassay capable of simultaneously evaluating multiple biomarkers in a single sub-array. This multiplex assay measures a panel of 10 angiogenesis proteins: ANG, EGF, FGF, HB-EGF, HGF, IL8, Leptin, PIGF, VEGF, and G-CSF plus a positive and a negative control.
