background and aims: influenza virus nucleoprotein (np) has the capacity to be used as subunit vaccine, but little is known about the impact of different cultures on its structure. in the present study we aimed to evaluate and compare the isoelectric focusing (ief) property of extracted viral nucleoproteins derived from madin darby canine kidney (mdck) cell line and embryonated chicken eggs (ec...

Isoelectric focusing on ultrathin polyacrylamide foils, coupled with isoenzymatic analysis using five different enzymes, was used to characterize blood-forms of T.b. brucei, T.b. rhodesiense and T.b. gambiense and procyclic forms of T.b. brucei and T.b. rhodesiense. The protein concentrations in the lysates were quantified. Qualitative as well as quantitative differences were found.

proteomics has emerged since 1995 for studying the total proteome of cells, tissues, or organisms at any condition. the study of proteins has a fundamental importance because they are the functional and final molecules of the gene expression process and proteomics could be a valuable technique for achieving this purpose. mass spectrometry is a complementary technique for proteomics that allows ...
