A protein micro-array, called a "cell chip" was constructed by using a photo-reactive polymer for a cell-adhesion assay. Various amounts of albumin or fibronectin were covalently immobilized on a polystyrene dish using a micro-spotter with a dip pen. First, poly(acrylic acid) carrying azidophenyl groups was synthesized as the photo-reactive polymer. Secondly, the aqueous solution of a photo-reactive polymer (several nanoliters) was cast using the dip pen of the micro-spotter and dried in air. Subsequently, aqueous solutions of proteins were cast on the same place using the micro-spotter. After drying, the dish was irradiated with ultraviolet light. Finally, the immobilization was confirmed by staining with a dye. The immobilization was stable even after washing with Tween-20. The protein-immobilized area depended on the manipulation of the micro-spotter and the size of the dip pen. Subsequently, cell adhesion on the photo-immobilized protein micro-array was investigated. The adhesion behavior of cells depended on the kind of immobilized proteins and the kind of cells. The protein micro-array will be useful for cell diagnosis and for the selection of biomaterials to regulate cell behavior.
