Two Dimensional Electrophoresis Method for Additional Characterization of Paraproteins in Serum. Clinical application of two dimensional electrophoresis, I.

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 of Ceolomic Fluid of Eisenia foetida Earthworm

Earthworms possess antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, and hemolytic properties. To recognize the molecules responsible for various biological activities of earthworm’s coelomic fluid, a detailed knowledge about its protein contents is required. The aim of this study was to characterize the proteins present within the coelomic fluid of Eisenia foetida earthworm. Polyacrylamide-gel-elec...

Current two-dimensional electrophoresis technology for proteomics.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) with immobilized pH gradients (IPGs) combined with protein identification by mass spectrometry (MS) is currently the workhorse for proteomics. In spite of promising alternative or complementary technologies (e.g. multidimensional protein identification technology, stable isotope labelling, protein or antibody arrays) that have emerged recently, 2-DE is...
