人类基因组大规模测序工作已经完成，随着以功能基因组学和蛋白质组学为主要研究内容的后基因时代来临，蛋白质芯片作为检测蛋白质存在和运动变化的高效工具，将为本世纪的疾病诊断和治疗、新药开发、分子生物学、航空航天、司法鉴定、食品卫生及环境监测等领域带来一场革命。
生物芯片技术是一种高通量检测技术，它包括基因芯片、蛋白质芯片及芯片实验三大领域。蛋白质芯片以蛋白质代替DNA作为检测目的物，此基因芯片更接近生命活动的物质层面，以直接测定蛋白质的相对水平及与其他分子在交互作用情况，以定量化的方式反映基因的活动情况，因而蛋白质芯片有着比基因芯片更加直接的应用前景。本书对蛋白质芯片技术进行了全面细致地阐述，包括技术原理、生产方法、表面化学、检测策略以及抗原、抗体数据分析，同时全书图文并茂，提供了许多生物学应用实例及实验草案。
本书知识全面，内容丰富，集合了蛋白质芯片技术的基础知识和前沿研究，实用性广泛，可读性强。适用于从事生物芯片研究开发以及生物信息学、蛋白质组学、基因组学、分子生物学、生物化学、细胞生物学、生物技术等相关研究领域的教学科研人员或技术人员参考使用，也可做为研究生教材。
