* Antibody array is designed to target human proteins. Due to a high sequence homology of vast majority of proteins it was often successfully applied to study murine, rat and ovine models as well  [Thorenz A. et al. (2018), Peiro J. et al. (2018), Reichman H. et al. (2019), Raquel F. et al. (2020)].
