Comparative and Semi-Quantitative Proteomics Using 2D Gel Electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) Technology
ITSIBIO »ITSI-Biosciences utilizes validated sample preparation kits/protocols, robotic spot pickers/digesters, DeCyder difference-in-gel analysis software and advanced mass spectrometers to offer an integrated 2D-DIGE – MS/MS proteomics solution. Proteomic analysis usually starts from sample preparation, to analyses by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and protein identification and annotation. Data obtained after 2D-DIGE analysis may include protein identity, pI, molecular weight and post translational modifications.
ITSI-Biosciences has provided 2D-DIGE analysis and proteomics services to NIH, industry, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical companies, Research Institutes and Universities. Our more than 15 years of experience with 2D-DIGE analysis, proteomics, mass spectrometry and protein expression profiling enables us to offer reproducible picture perfect gels at a competitive price and guaranteed faster turnaround time. We have also developed a variety of complementary 2D-DIGE kits to streamline and standardize protein isolation, protein quantitation, protein qualification and the 2D-DIGE analysis step, thereby reducing the overall time and cost of performing 2D-DIGE analysis.
2D-DIGE offers all the advantages of the classical 2D-PAGE, and most importantly overcomes the inherent disadvantage of gel-to-gel variation and reproducibility problem inherent with the traditional 2D-PAGE approach. 2D-DIGE is presently the most versatile gel-based approach for comparative and semi-quantitative proteomics. Distinct fluorescent tags e.g. Cy 3, 5 and 2 are used to label protein samples and a universal internal standard prior to 1st/2nd dimension electrophoresis. An automated software program is used to detect, quantify and annotate differentially expressed proteins. 2D-DIGE analysis can be applied to protein expression profiling and comparative proteomics by using DeCyder software to identify proteins with statistically-significant difference in expression. This provides unique opportunities for researches in fields including cancer, neuroscience, vision, cardiovascular, Alzheimer, Parkinson, etc, to find important proteins associated with the condition. 2D-DIGE – LC/MS/MS analysis can also be applied to identify post translationally modified proteins (PTM) that are important in cell signaling and protein trafficking.
