Protein arrays have been in existence since the 1980s. At that time, they resulted from spotting of
proteins onto porous membranes such as nitrocellulose. Considerably later, nonporous materials
such as plastic or derivatized glass were used as a matrix or as support for the spotted proteins.
These arrays were used to measure protein-protein interactions, oligonucleotide-protein
