We have described (1,2,3 and 4) a strategy for high-throughput generation of specific antibodies towards recombinant proteins. Recently, this approach has been further developed with regard to (i) bioinformatics algorithms that have allowed the identification of coding sequences that are amenable both to recombinant protein expression and the generation of specific antibody reagents, (ii) a robust E. coli recombinant protein expression system, (iii) systematic antibody production associated with antigen purification of polyclonal sera (5) and, (iv) a systematic approaches to utilizing these reagents, in particular using tissue arrays (unpublished). The project has led to the initiation of a Human Proteome Resource program funded by Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
