Influenza virus protein microarray pipeline. Recombinant HA is expressed in a baculovirus expression system, purified, characterized and undergoes quality control (A). HAs are arrayed onto an epoxysilane-coated glass slide (Schott) using a Versa 110 spotter (Aurora Biomed) (B). The HAs are covalently bound to the slide and blocked; the arrays are incubated with sera, followed by fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies in a 96-well microarray gasket (Arrayit) (C). The arrays are then imaged (D), spots are automatically detected and their fluorescence is measured (E). Data from microarray imaging are analyzed in GraphPad Prism 7.0 (F). HA, hemagglutinin.
