Application of Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis to Microbial Systems

چکیده
The term proteomics was coined by Marc R. Wilkins in 1994, whilst he was developing the concept as PhD student in Macquarie University (Wilkins et al., 1996a). Proteomics was mainly derived from the field of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). With the arrival of the concept of proteomics or proteome analysis, the method of 2-DE has gained greater significance. Although alternative methods of protein separation for proteomics have been developed, 2-DE has remained the core technology of choice for protein separation.

Immunogens of Brucella Abortus S19 Identified By Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis and Immunoblotting
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...
متن کاملA 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...

Total protein and DNA extracted from histologically diagnosed normal nonmalignant and esophageal tumor tissues were used for analysis of polypeptides pattern by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and DNA transforming activity in NIH 3T3 cell transfection assay, respectively. In comparison to normal tissues, eight polypeptides underwent down-regulation or disappeared, while seven polypeptid...
متن کاملA Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm
Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...
متن کاملTwo–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...
