Cancer biomarker study using two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis

Two Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis in Cancer Proteomics

Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is a powerful and widely used method for the analysis of complex protein mixtures extracted from cells, tissues, or other biological samples. This technique sort’s protein according to two independent properties in two discrete steps: the first-dimension step, isoelectric focusing (IEF), separates proteins according to their isoelectric points (pI); the se...

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry for biomarker discovery.

The proteome project, initiated in 1995, was made possible by 2-DE combined with MS. The project main objective was and remains the identification of all proteins expressed by a cell, tissue or organism in a given time and condition. Following this objective, the global profiling of proteins in health versus pathological state by the 2-DE/MS-based proteomic approach has contributed to the eluci...

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis

Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis for biomaterial applications.

Fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (DiGE) is rapidly becoming established as a powerful technique for the characterization of differences in protein expression levels between two or more conditions. In this review, we consider the application of DiGE-both minimal and saturation labelling-to biomaterials research, considering the challenges and rewards of this approach.

A Simpler and Faster Version of Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Using Vertical, Mini SDS-PAGE Apparatus

We have modified one of the most useful methods of protein separation; namely, two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). This modified version of 2-DE is not only simpler and easier but also faster than all the currently available methods. In this method, isoelectric focusing is carried out in the first dimension using a vertical sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrop...
