Reductive methylation has been used to radioactively label crude-extract proteins with 3H or 14C. The procedure achieved good isotope incorporation and resolution of proteins on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. It allows high-precision comparison of tissue samples by double-labelling and should facilitate the study of tissue proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) methods such as two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE; O’Farrell (1975)) and two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE; Ünlü et al. (1997)) are popular techniques for protein separation because they allow researchers to characterize quantitative protein changes on a large scale. Thus, 2-DE is frequently used as an in...

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...
