the short arm of rye 1r chromosome (1rs) carries genes for resistance to diseases and pests. the presence of the 1rs arm also enhance adaptation, stress tolerance and yield potential of bread wheat. in the present study 17 bread wheat cultivars were screened to identify 1bl.1rs translocation (t1bl.1rs) by isoelectric focusing, c-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) methods. iso...

Whole human saliva possesses tremendous potential in clinical diagnostics, particularly for conditions within the oral cavity such as oral cancer. Although many have studied the soluble fraction of whole saliva, few have taken advantage of the diagnostic potential of the cells present in saliva, and none have taken advantage of proteomics capabilities for their study. We report on a novel prote...

The discovery of breast cancer associated plasma/serum biomarkers is important for early diagnosis, disease mechanism elucidation, and determination of treatment strategy for the disease. In this study of serum samples, a multidimensional fractionation platform combined with mass spectrometric analysis were used to achieve the identification of medium to lower abundance proteins, as well as to ...

Isoelectric focusing (IEF) is a powerful approach in separations of zwitterionic substances such as proteins, peptides and amino acids. It is important in proteomic research. Generally, in IEF, carrier ampholytes (CAs) are necessary to establish a stable pH gradient. However, CAs also bring attendant problems such as a decrease in detection sensitivity and suppression of ionization of analytes ...

BACKGROUND Diagnoses of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are based on clinical suspicion and analysis of transferrin (Tf) isoforms. Here we present our experience of CDG screening in children with a suspected metabolic disease by determination of serum percentage of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (%CDT) in tandem with isoelectric focusing (IEF) analysis of Tf and alpha(1)-antitry...

BACKGROUND The Contact Heat Evoked Potential Stimulator (CHEPS) rapidly stimulates cutaneous small nerve fibres, and resulting evoked potentials can be recorded from the scalp. We have studied patients with symptoms of sensory neuropathy and controls using CHEPS, and validated the findings using other objective measures of small nerve fibres i.e. the histamine-induced skin flare response and in...

Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) from different manufacturers was analysed by non-reducing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by immunodetection with a specific antiEPO antiserum, revealing a single broad diffuse band in the molecular weight range 30 40 kDa. The isoform compositions revealed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) after immunoblotting and lectin blotting showed extensive hete...
