Two-dimensional affinity electrophoresis.

Two-dimensional Electrophoresis

Two-dimensional (2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a classical technique for the separation of proteins. It Rrst appeared in the mid-1970s but for a long time it only found limited applications. Recently it has enjoyed an impressive renaissance. The major reasons for this are the introduction of the immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips and the development of analytical methods capable o...

Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis

We compared cellular proteins from normal human blood lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes, using highresolution two-dimensional electrophoresis. The leukocytes were isolated from peripheral blood by centrifugation on density step gradients (yielding a fraction of purified granulocytes and a lymphocyte/monocyte mixture) and monocytes were subsequently separated from lymphocytes by virtue of...

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis

Quantitative protein profiling using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, isotope-coded affinity tag labeling, and mass spectrometry.

Quantitative protein profiling is an essential part of proteomics and requires new technologies that accurately, reproducibly, and comprehensively identify and quantify the proteins contained in biological samples. We describe a new strategy for quantitative protein profiling that is based on the separation of proteins labeled with isotope-coded affinity tag reagents by two-dimensional gel elec...

Analysis of glucocorticoid receptor activation by high resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of affinity-labeled receptor.

To determine if activation of the glucocorticoid receptor involves covalent charge modification of the steroid-binding protein, unactivated and activated IM-9 cell glucocorticoid receptors were examined by high resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. As previously reported (Smith, A. C., and Harmon, J. M. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 4946-4951), two-dimensional electrophoresis of immunopurif...
