Analysis of H-2 and Ia molecules by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

Analysis of H-2 and Ia molecules by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

Mouse lymphocyte H-2 and Ia glycoproteins have been analyzed with a two-dimensional (2-D) acrylamide gel electrophoresis technique, in which proteins are separated first according to their charge in isoelectrofocusing gels and then according to their size in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels. Individual polypeptide chains from radiolabeled cells are resolved as discrete spots on autoradiograms of the...

Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis (2-DE)

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) is able to separate hundreds to thousands of proteins or polypeptides by coupling IsoElectric Focusing (IEF) in first dimension and Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate PolyAcrylamide-Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in second dimension. This particular configuration is called classical 2-DE: IEF separates proteins in function of their isoelectric point (pI) and SDS-...

Immunogens of Brucella Abortus S19 Identified By Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis and Immunoblotting

Background: Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and several antigenic proteins of Brucella have been considered for preparation of diagnostic reagents and subunit vaccines. The objective of this study was to identify and compare immunogens of B. abortus S19 which induce humoral immune responses in human, goat and rabbit. Material and Methods: The bacterial whole cell extract was prepared in extraction b...

Analysis of triplet repeat replication by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

Expansions of triplet repeats are responsible for more than 15 hereditary neurological disorders in humans. Triplet repeats are fairly stable when the number of elementary units is under approx 30, but become polymorphic in length with a clear bias for expansions when this threshold is exceeded. This results in the rapid addition of hundreds or even thousands of extra repeats and, ultimately, d...
