Abstract:
2D DIGE is a promising approach to comparative proteome analysis known for a high sensitivity and high reproducibility compared with classical 2DE techniques. It offers new possibilities for the detection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in neurological diseases, such as dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multiple sclerosis. We review the first studies using 2D DIGE for analysis of the CSF proteome in neurological diseases and discuss advantages, as well as drawbacks, of the methodological approach with special emphasis on CSF-related aspects.
