Problem
Traditional methods for analyzing cell surface proteins lack the resolution to capture the spatial context and interactions crucial for understanding cell behavior and disease mechanisms. Existing techniques often require specialized microscopy, are limited in multiplexing capability, and can be cumbersome to integrate into standard laboratory workflows.
Solution
Pixelgen Technologies offers Molecular Pixelation (MPX), a spatial proteomics technology that enables high-resolution mapping of cell surface proteins in three dimensions. The MPX platform utilizes DNA-tagged monoclonal antibodies to achieve unprecedented spatial protein multiplexing without the need for specialized microscopy. This approach provides detailed insights into protein co-localization and spatial relationships on the cell surface, offering a deeper understanding of cell biology, disease mechanisms, and drug mode of action. The resulting data can be integrated into existing NGS workflows, providing a scalable solution for cell and molecular biology laboratories.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes researchers and scientists in cell biology, immunology, and drug discovery who seek to gain a deeper understanding of cell surface protein interactions and their role in disease.
