Preface

Cell-based microarrays are a technique originally described by the Sabatini group in 2001 as “reverse transfection.” cDNA or siRNAs in vector constructs are printed onto a coated glass slide using a robotic microarrayer and the vector constructs are transfected in defined areas within cells grown over the surface of the slide or microplate. Downstream functional assays are then undertaken on the cells. Cell-based microarrays have proven to be of vital importance, allowing high throughput analysis of over-expression and knock down of proteins. Since their development in 2001, they have advanced sig
