Two-dimensional Electrophoresis Gel Images Scan (2dEGIS) implements a mix of computational methods for processing two-dimensional electrophoresis gel images. For advancing the analysis in case-control sample studies, a multi-component decompositionapproximation approach is presented, based on: (1) A global scan aimed to detect discriminative patterns with just a few components; (2) A more local...

Data from a comparative proteomic analysis of three human breast epithelial cell lines are presented. M13SV1 cells and their tumorigenic derivatives M13SV1-R2-2 and M13SV1-R2-N1 were used. Proteomic data were obtained using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and subsequent identification of proteins by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In a second experiment, the three cell lines were treated with di...

Fifty-seven strains of various Rhizobium species were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Since the protein pattern on such gels is a reflection of the genetic background of the tested strains, similarities in pattern allowed us to estimate the relatedness between these strains. All group II rhizobia (slow growing) were closely related and were very distinct from group I rhizobia (...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the protein spots of excre-tory - secretory products of fasciola hepatica using two dimension electrophoresis method in the presence and absence of triclabendazole drug which can be consid-ered to detect the target protein of the drug. methods: f. hepatica parasites were collected from infected cattle livers, divided in two groups and cultivated...

The challenge associated with the use of synovial fluid for osteoarthritic proteome studies is optimization step, which involves depletion high abundant proteins from samples. objective this study was to develop a cost efficient and effective method remove albumin canine studies. Pooled samples were obtained clinically healthy dogs (n=5), no radiographic features osteoarthritis. acetone precipi...

We have previously identified proteins in fractions of culture filtrate ofMycobacterium tuberculosis with the capacity to induce cytokine production in monocytes, by using a technique we defined as "monocyte Western blotting" (immunoblotting). In this series of experiments, we have extended this technique to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and have identified a novel 58-kDa protein ofM. tub...
