Five such techniques – SEREX, phage dis-play, protein microarray, SERPA and MAPPing – are discussed here.

A suite of emerging techniques, known collectively as “molecular imaging,” nowoffer scientists an unprecedented opportunity to identify, follow, and quantifybiologic processes at the cellular level with molecular specificity in intact orga-nisms. For instance, it is now possible to evaluate, with ima[r]
