The established strand-displacement model for mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication has recently been questioned in light of new data using two-dimensional (2D) agarose gel electrophoresis. It has been proposed that a synchronous, strand-coupled mode of replication occurs in tissues, thereby casting doubt on the general validity of the "orthodox," or strand-displacement model. We have...

The present study aimed to compare the 2-dimensional (2D) electrophoresis pattern of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and control individuals, to identify the proteins with differential expression and to examine their significance. CSF samples from the three groups were collected and total protei...

Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) treatment of neonatal rat islets for 24 h induces changes in the expression of 105 of 2,200 proteins, as determined previously by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis. Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as one of the mediators of IL-1beta effects in insulin-containing cell lines and rat islets. The aims of this study were 1) to determine the involvement of NO...

Amphoteric azo dyes were used for internal control of pI values in Comparative two-dimensional Fluorescence Gel Electrophoresis (CoFGE) [1]. The 2D-gel images of separated Escherichia coli proteins as well as those of colored amphoteric dyes separated by isoelectric focussing are presented. The latter were used to correct for variation in the first electrophoretic dimension and further improve ...

INTRODUCTION SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) represents the second-dimension separation of two-dimensional (2D)-PAGE. Large-scale proteome analysis usually requires simultaneous electrophoresis of batches of second-dimension SDS-PAGE gels to maximize the reproducibility of 2D electrophoresis protein profiles. This requirement is most easily met using multiple, vertical second-...
