Abstract
The invention provides methods of analyzing a sample. In general, the methods involve: a) contacting a sample with an array of capture agents; and b) reading the array to detect the presence of a post-translational modification indicator and an analyte-detection moiety. The analytes of the sample may be contacted with the post-translational modification indicator and analyte-detection moiety at any point in the subject methods. Also provided is a system and kit for performing the subject methods.
Claims24
A method of sample analysis, the method comprising:
- (a) contacting a sample with an array of capture agents;

- and
- (c) reading said array to independently detect:
- i) a said post-translational modification-specific fluorescent dye;
- and
- ii) said analyte-specific analyte detection moiety.
