High performance CCD camera system for digitalisation of 2D DIGE gels
نویسندگان
چکیده
An essential step in 2D DIGE-based analysis of differential proteome profiles is the accurate and sensitive digitalisation of 2D DIGE gels. The performance progress of commercially available charge-coupled device (CCD) camera-based systems combined with light emitting diodes (LED) opens up a new possibility for this type of digitalisation. Here, we assessed the performance of a CCD camera system (Intas Advanced 2D Imager) as alternative to a traditionally employed, high-end laser scanner system (Typhoon 9400) for digitalisation of differential protein profiles from three different environmental bacteria. Overall, the performance of the CCD camera system was comparable to the laser scanner, as evident from very similar protein abundance changes (irrespective of spot position and volume), as well as from linear range and limit of detection.

متن کاملAlternative experimental design with an applied normalization scheme can improve statistical power in 2D-DIGE experiments.
2D-DIGE experiments are a high-throughput technique for measuring protein abundances based on gel separation. Traditionally three samples are multiplexed per gel: two biological test samples and a third internal standard sample consisting of a pool of all test samples. We demonstrate that the use of an internal standard helps to account for technical variation caused by spatial intensity biases...
