Virus and bacterial invasion of the human body can cause serious infectious disease, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Influenza (flu), and severe diarrhea, etc. Antibodies against pathogenic antigens can be produced by our body’s immune system (B cells) and play a protective role against the infection. There are 4 different kinds of antibodies that can be induced by pathogenic antigens, IgM, IgG, IgA and IgE, and each of the antibodies plays a different role in the course of infection. Detection of the antibody specificities is critical for early diagnosis of pathogenic infections and also provide valuable information for epidemiology analysis and evaluation of effect of vaccination.
GeneCopoeia’s OmicsArray™ Common Pathogen Antigen Array contains 64 antigens from a large collection of common pathogenic organisms such as virus, bacteria and parasites, and is a highly sensitive protein microarray that offers powerful antibody profiling capabilities for quantitative detection of over hundreds of antibodies from small amount of various biological specimens.The 64 antigens included in the General Autoimmune 64-plex Common Pathogen Antigen array panel were chosen based on the published studies. The superior-quality purified antigens were coated onto the 3D surface of microchips to ensure that antigens retain their natural conformations. Internal Ig and anti-Ig controls are included in each array for normalization and quantification purposes. Additionally, the utilization of fluorescent 2nd antibodies in our microarrays allows for the detection of two types (IgG, IgM, IgA or IgE) of antibodies on the same array, minimizing the requirement of sample needed.
In addition to premade arrays, arrays containing customized sets of antigens are available, as well as array processing kits, array profiling services and data analysis. To order premade or custom arrays, please contact us.
GeneCopoeia’s OmicsArray™ Common Pathogen Antigen Array, 64-plex is part of the GeneCopoeia OmicsArray™ Antigen Microarray family.

Custom services
GeneCopoeia offers custom antigen microarray services in the following areas:- Custom array printing. GeneCopoeia will create custom antigen microarrays built to your specifications.
- Sample processing. Send us your blood, plasma, tissue, or other biological sample and we will prepare it for processing and incubation with any of our premade antigen microarrays or custom-built antigen microarrays for autoantibody profiling and other applications. For information on sample types to submit, consult the FAQ
- Data analysis. Once samples are processed and incubated with an antigen microarray, we will analyze the raw data. The standard analysis service includes: 1) An Excel file of the Net Signal Intensity (NSI) for each antigen on the array, normalized to internal controls; and 2) a heat map
