(b) Antibody microarrays can be used to detect pathogen proteins or antigens that might be present in environmental samples as an indication of contamination or for diagnostic purposes to determine pathogen infection in human tissues. fabricated a customized Affymetrix microarray containing 53 660 probes to detect DNA amplified from 18 different pathogenic microorganisms simultaneously, including pathogens from the US CDC's list of bioterrorism agents, such as Bacillus anthracis (which causes anthrax), Clostridium botulinum (which generates the botulinum toxin), Yersinia pestis (which causes bubonic plague) and the Ebola virus [17] .	./cache/cord-257802-vgizgq2y.txt	./txt/cord-257802-vgizgq2y.txt
