New applications featuring proteomic instrumentation As presented during ASMS and ABRF

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN JULY 27, 2007 -- You are only a few clicks away from your personal poster session by the authors of posters shown at ASMS 2007 or ABRF 2007. Follow the links below to get more first-hand information about these topics:

Differential proteome analysis of normal and equine protozoal myeloencephalitis infected horse cerebrospinal fluid using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry by Doris Terry (presenting author) and Michel Levy

The authors of this poster used Genomic Solutions’ DIGE software together with the ProPic II for reliable and accurate spot excision from 2D DIGE gels without post-staining, followed by automated in-gel protein digestion on the ProPrep and mass spectrometric analysis.

Comparative Proteomics Study of Horse Seminal Proteins Using MALDI-MS and MS/MS to Gain Insight into Fertility by William K. Russell (presenting author) et al.

Here the ProPic II was used for excision of entire lanes from 1D gels. Subsequent automatic in-gel digestion was carried out with the ProGest and then the ProMS was used to clean up the resulting peptide mixtures and spot them onto MALDI targets for further mass spectrometric analysis.

Neuroproteomic Analysis of Chronic Methamphetamine Treatment in Rat Cortex by Firas Kobeissy (presenting author) et al.

In this study the authors used Genomic Solutions' DIGE software together with the ProPic for reliable and accurate spot excision from 2D DIGE gels without post-staining, followed by automated in-gel protein digestion on the ProGest and spotting onto MALDI targets with the ProMS prior to mass spec analysis.
