We developed a new microscopic platform for the real-time analysis of molecular interactions by combining microbead-tagging techniques with total internal reflection fluorescent microscopy (TIRFM). The optical manipulation of probe microbeads, followed by photo immobilization on a solid surface, enabled LIS to generate arrays with extremely high density (> 100 microbeads in a 25 pill x 25 pill area), and TIRFM made it possible to monitor the binding reactions Of fluorescently labeled targets onto probe microbeads without removal of free targets. We demonstrated the high performance of this platform through analyses of interactions between antigen and antibody and between small compounds and proteins. Then, recombinant protein levels in total cellular lysates of Escherichia coli were quantified from the association kinetics using antibody-immobilized microbead arrays, which served as a model for a protein-profiling array. Furthermore, in combination with in vitro synthesis-coupled protein labeling, we could kinematically analyze the interaction Of nuclear factor kappa B (p50) with DNA. These results demonstrated that this platform enabled Lis to: (1) monitor binding processes of fluorescently labeled targets to multiple probes in real-time without removal of free targets, (2) determine concentrations of free targets only from the association kinetics at ail early phase, and (3) greatly reduce the required volume of the target solution, in principle to subnanoliter, for molecular interaction analysis. The unique features of this microbead-based microarray system open the way to explore molecular interactions with a wide range of affinities in extremely small volumes of target solutions, such as extracts from single cells.
