Two-dimensional electrophoresis in small gels for applications in veterinary medicine

Abstract:
A versatile method for two-dimensional electrophoresis that can be performed easily, even in small routine laboratories, is described. The procedure combines a first-dimensional isoelectric focusing run in a PhastSystem with denaturing electrophoresis in a small vertical electrophoresis chamber. The described arrangement of two first-dimensional gel strips in the second dimension allows direct comparison of two related samples, eliminating most of the artifacts that usually lead to misinterpretations. The presented procedure can be conveniently adapted to the needs of each laboratory; at present, it is being extensively used to establish protein patterns of healthy individuals of different species, a prerequisite with regard to help and support diagnosis.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
