Abstract:
Serum proteins and urinary proteins electrophoresis are useful biological tests. They are often prescribed for the screening of monoclonal gammopathys and also during follow-up for treatment response. This test can be accredited according to standard NF ISO 15189 since laboratories use analysers and adapted reagents, but there are numerous protocols for the method validation. This paper present the results of a survey proposed in 2019 to biologists by CNBH and SFBC. The aim of this survey is to give biologists a choice among several protocols that have been positively evaluated by COFRAC.

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.

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.
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...
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...
