A major hurdle in characterizing bacterial membrane proteins by Western blotting is the ineffectiveness of transferring these proteins from sodium dodecyl sulfate -- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel onto nitrocellulose membrane, using standard Western blot buffers and electrophoretic conditions. In this study, we compared a number of modified Western blotting buffers and arrived at a composition designated as the SDS-PAGE-Urea Lysis buffer. The use of this buffer and specific conditions allowed the reproducible transfer of highly hydrophobic bacterial membrane proteins with 2-12 transmembrane-spanning segments as well as soluble proteins onto nitrocellulose membranes. This method should be broadly applicable for immunochemical studies of other membrane proteins. 相似文献

A new method for immobilization of proteins purified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) prior to sequencing is described. It utilizes a simple apparatus that permits the simultaneous electroelution of proteins from gel slices and attachment to diisothiocyanate-activated glass beads prepacked in capillary tubes [S-P. Liang and R. A. Laursen, Anal. Biochem. 188, 366-373 (1990)]. Transfer/attachment yields of greater than 80% within 90 min were observed for several 125I-labeled proteins with a range of molecular weights using 0.2 M sodium phosphate (pH 8.9) buffer containing 0.1% SDS. The method has the advantage of high capacity, relative simplicity, and insensitivity to the presence of SDS and Coomassie blue stain. The highest transfer yields were obtained when proteins were run on gels which had been aged for at least 12 h. For 100- to 1000-pmol samples, the sequenceable amount of protein, including transfer, was generally 30-60%, with an average repetitive yield of 95%. Factors which influence sample recovery and sequencing yield are discussed. 相似文献

R factor proteins are synthesized in R factor-containing Escherichia coli minicells. Half of this protein remained associated with the minicell membrane upon lysis of the minicells. Over 90% of the membrane-associated protein was extracted by sodium lauryl sarcosinate, suggesting a location of these proteins in the inner membrane. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of these membrane preparations demonstrated the presence of multiple peptides, including a prominent band with a molecular weight of 28,000 to 30,000. A polypeptide of similar size was seen in membrane preparations from minicells harboring R factors from five different compatibility types. This major R factor membrane peptide was seen with R factors repressed or derepressed for pilus synthesis, with and without antibiotic resistances. It was associated with R factor deoxyribonucleic acid in membrane-deoxyribonucleic acid complexes. Its possible role in R factor replication and/or transfer is being investigated. 相似文献

A photoactivable phospholipid analogue that specifically labels membrane cytoskeletal proteins of intact erythrocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A radioactive photoactivable analogue of phosphatidylethanolamine, 2-(2-azido-4-nitro-benzoyl)-1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho[14C]ethanolamine ([14C]AzPE), was synthesized. Upon incubation with erythrocytes in the dark, about 90% of [14C]AzPE spontaneously incorporated into the cells; of this fraction, about 90% associated with the membrane, all of it noncovalently. Upon photoactivation, 3-4% of the membrane-associated probe was incorporated into protein. Analysis of this fraction by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, as well as extraction of labeled membranes with alkali or detergent, showed that the probe preferentially labeled cytoskeletal proteins. [14C]AzPE appears to be a useful tool for the study of lipid-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane of intact cells. 相似文献

Microsequence analysis of peptides and proteins. VIII. Improved electroblotting of proteins onto membranes and derivatized glass-fiber sheets 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have quantitatively examined the various parameters affecting the electrotransfer and sequence analysis of proteins from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels to derivatized glass fiber paper or to polyvinyldifluoride (PVDF) membranes. Transfer yields in the range of 90-95% can be obtained for proteins in the molecular weight range of 10-90 kDa for transfer from 12% SDS gels to glass fiber paper derivatized with either QAPS (N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride) or APS (aminopropyltriethoxysilane). In order to achieve these yields, it was necessary to modify the conditions described by R. Aebersold et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 261, 4229-4238, 1986). We activated the glass fiber paper with dilute ammonia water and derivatized the activated glass fiber paper with QAPS and APS in anhydrous solvents which were allowed to slowly absorb moisture during the derivatization process. The transfer yield varied with transfer time versus molecular weight of the protein for a given percentage gel. Shorter transfer times and higher yields were obtained for higher molecular weight proteins on 8% gels. Lower molecular weight protein gave higher yields from 12% gels under similar transfer conditions. Sequencing yields of the transferred proteins were in the range of 40-80%, but a number of background peaks were observed on HPLC analysis of the phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivatives. Transfer yields in the range of 85-95% were observed for similar experiments with PVDF membranes. In order to achieve these yields, it was necessary to modify the conditions described by P. Matsudaira (J. Biol. Chem. 262, 10035-10038, 1987). A lower voltage and longer transfer times gave higher transfer yields. In order to achieve consistently high transfer yields, it was also necessary to precoat the PVDF membranes with Polybrene. The PVDF membranes were cut into approximately 1-mm-wide strips and inserted into a continuous flow reactor (J. E. Shively, P. Miller, and M. Ronk, Anal. Biochem. 163, 517-525, 1987) for sequence analysis. Overall yields of samples loaded onto gels, electrotransferred to Polybrene-coated PVDF membranes, and sequenced ranged from 50-60% for beta-lactoglobin (10-50 pmol loaded onto SDS gels) to 20-30% for bovine serum albumin and soybean trypsin inhibitor (50 pmol loaded onto SDS gels). A comparison of the two methods shows clear advantages for the PVDF membranes over the derivatized glass fiber paper, including the ability to directly sequence the Coomassie blue-stained PVDF membranes, and the lower backgrounds observed on subsequent sequence analysis. 相似文献

Two-dimensional electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradient (IPG) followed by acetic acid/urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (AU-PAGE) was developed for the detection of low-molecular weight food allergens. Wheat proteins were used to test the applicability of AU-PAGE for the analysis of food allergens. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) for first dimension was performed with IPG pH 3-10. AU-PAGE was performed as a second-dimensional electrophoresis and high resolution was obtained, especially for proteins below 15 kDa. For immunodetection, the proteins resolved on AU gel were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. The assembly of semidry electroblotting for AU gel was set reversed as for sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE gel. The electroblotted membrane was immunolabeled with serum from a radio-allergosorbent test-positive individual for wheat to identify allergenic proteins. Protein spots strongly recognized by the patient's serum were chosen for further analysis. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that these proteins were alpha-amylase/trypsin inhibitors and lipid transfer protein. The system developed in this study was shown to be useful as a standard protocol for the separation of low-molecular weight proteins. Moreover, the IPG strips on which IEF was performed could be used either for SDS-PAGE or AU-PAGE by only changing equilibrating conditions, allowing for a wide range of allergen analysis. 相似文献

Immunoblotting of hydrophobic integral membrane proteins 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
For diagnosis and research purposes it is frequently desirable to measure by immunoblotting small amounts of proteins in complex mixtures such as tissue biopsy homogenates. Standard immunoblot procedures that give excellent results for soluble proteins unexpectedly gave low and irreproducible signals with some hydrophobic membrane proteins. We found that this was due to inefficient electrophoretic transfer to nitrocellulose, which could be corrected by modification of the transblot buffer. Hydrophobic integral membrane proteins of peroxisomes as well as other rat and human liver proteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose filters. The nitrocellulose-bound proteins were detected both by staining and by immunoblotting with an antiserum against the 22-kDa integral membrane protein of peroxisomes plus 125I-labeled protein A. A modified transblot buffer with 0.7 M glycine and 25 mM Tris (pH 7.7) but no methanol allowed use of a much shorter transfer time and strikingly improved the electrophoretic transfer of membrane proteins such that a peroxisomal integral membrane protein could be easily detected in human liver biopsy homogenates. 相似文献

Isolation of two glycolipid transfer proteins from bovine brain: reactivity toward gangliosides and neutral glycosphingolipids 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two glycolipid transfer proteins that catalyze the transfer of gangliosides and neutral glycosphingolipids from phosphatidylcholine vesicles to erythrocyte ghosts have been isolated from calf brain. Purification procedures included differential centrifugation, precipitation at pH 5.1, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 and G-75. The final stage employed fast protein liquid chromatography (Mono S), producing two peaks of activity. Apparent purity of the major peak (TP I) was approximately 85-90%, as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate/urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. That of the minor fraction (TP II) was less. The major band of both fractions had a molecular mass of approximately 20,000 daltons. Both proteins catalyzed the transfer of ganglioside GM1 as well as asialo-GM1, but transfer protein I was more effective with di- and trisialogangliosides. Transfer protein II appeared to be somewhat more specific for neutral glycolipids in that GA1 was transferred more rapidly than any of the gangliosides; however, lactosylceramide transfer was relatively slow. Neither protein catalyzed transfer of phosphatidylcholine. 相似文献

The fate of the L-cell plasma membrane proteins labeled by enzymatic iodination was studied. The disappearance of label from growing cells exhibits a biphasic behavior, with 5-20% lost rapidly (t1/2 similar to 2 h) and 80-90% lost relatively slowly (t1/2 similar to 25-33 h). The loss is temperature dependent and serum independent, and is accompanied by the appearance of 51% (125-I)monoiodotyrosine (MIT) in the medium by 47 h. A variable amount (1-14%) of acid-insoluble label can be recovered in the medium over 47 h. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel labeling patterns from cells cultured up to 48 h after iodination reveal no change in the relative distribution of radioactivity, indicating similar rates of degradation for most of the labeled membrane proteins. The fate of the labeled membrane proteins was studied at various times after phagocytosis of nondigestible polystyrene particles. Iodinated L cells phagocytose sufficient 1.1 mum latex beads in 60 min to interiorize 15-30% of the total cell surface area. Electron microscope autoradiography confirmed that labeled membrane is internalized during phagocytosis. The latex-containing phagocytic vacuoles are isolated by flotation in a discontinuous sucrose gradient. 15-30% of the total incorporated label and a comparable percentage of alkaline phosphodiesterase I activity (PDase, a plasma membrane enzyme marker) are recovered in the phagocytic vacuole fraction. Lysosomal enzyme activities are found in the latex vacuole fraction, indicating formation of phagolysosomes. SDS gel analyses reveal that all of the radioactive proteins initially present on the intact cell's surface are interiorized to the same relative extent. Incorporated label and PDase activity disappear much more rapidly from the phagolysosomes than from the whole cell. In the phagolysosomal compartment, greater than 70% of the TCA-precipitable labeled proteins and all of the PDase activity are lost rapidly (t1/2 equals 1-2 h) but similar 30% of the labeled proteins in this compartment are degraded with a 17-20 h half-life. The slowly degraded label is due to specific long-lived polypeptides, of 85,000 and 8,000-15,000 daltons, which remain in the phagolysosomal membrane up to 40 h after phagocytosis. 相似文献

Nostoc punctiforme strain Pasteur Culture Collection (PCC) 73102, a sequenced filamentous cyanobacterium capable of nitrogen fixation, is used as a model organism for characterization of bioenergetic processes during nitrogen fixation in Nostoc . A protocol for isolating thylakoid membranes was developed to examine the biochemical and biophysical aspects of photosynthetic electron transfer. Thylakoids were isolated from filaments of N. punctiforme by pneumatic pressure-drop lysis. The activity of photosynthetic enzymes in the isolated thylakoids was analysed by measuring oxygen evolution activity, fluorescence spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Electron transfer was found functional in both PSII and PSI. Electron transfer measurements in PSII, using diphenylcarbazide as electron donor and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol as electron acceptor, showed that 80% of the PSII centres were active in water oxidation in the final membrane preparation. Analysis of the membrane protein complexes was made by 2D gel electrophoresis, and identification of representative proteins was made by mass spectrometry. The ATP synthase, several oligomers of PSI, PSII and the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH)-1L and NDH-1M complexes, were all found in the gels. Some differences were noted compared with previous results from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Two oligomers of PSII were found, monomeric and dimeric forms, but no CP43-less complexes. Both dimeric and monomeric forms of Cyt b 6 / f could be observed. In all, 28 different proteins were identified, of which 25 are transmembrane proteins or membrane associated ones. 相似文献

To provide a basis of molecular genetic analysis of M. tubereulosis, the proteomic profiling was prompted. M. tuberculosis H37RV was cultured in Sauton medium at 37 degrees C for 3 weeks, harvested and fractionated into three portions: suspension filtration proteins(A), cytosol proteins(B) and membrane proteins(C). These fractions were analyzed by pH3-10 IPG gradient and SDS-PAGE. The silver-stained technigue and gel images were used. Then the image was transfered into 2-DE gel analysis Software. A part of protein sports of expression level higher from the culture filtrate fraction were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting. A total of 907, 884 and 681 protein sports were observed for A. B. C fractions in M. tuberculosis H37RV, respectively. Distribution of proteins mass for 3 fractions were principally similar, About 70.5-74.4 per cent were distributed in the ranges of Mr 10-49 kD.pI of the proteins for A, B fractions were pricipally similar, About 80.9-83.5 per cent were distributed in the ranges of pH 3.0-6.4, But the number of protein sports for C fraction distributed in the ranges of pH 7.6-10.0 were more than A, B fractions. The number of protein sports of expression level higher for A, B and C fractions were 71(7.8%), 242(27.4%), 19 (2.8%), respectively. 90 pen cent from them, pH of the proteins were distributed in the ranges of pH 3.0-6.4. 73.1 per cent for proteins mass of C fraction were distributed in the ranges of 10 kD-49 kD, which were more than A, B fractions. Nine of the proteins identified ih this study appeared to be homology or putative fanction proteins, but another five proteins were unknown. The proteomic profiling of different fractions in M. tuberculosis obtained in here will be provide a basis for detailed analysis of biology functions of the proteins. 相似文献

In-gel digestion is commonly used after proteins are resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, 2-DE). It can also be used on its own in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the direct analysis of complex proteins. Here, we describe a strategy combining isolation of purified plasma membrane, efficient digestion of plasma membrane proteins in polyacrylamide gel, and high-sensitivity analysis by advanced mass spectrometry to create a new rapid and high-throughput method. The plasma membrane protein mixture is directly incorporated into a polyacrylamide gel matrix, After formation of the gel, proteins in the gel section are digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides are subjected to reversed-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography followed by electrospray ion-trap tandem mass analysis. Using this optimized strategy, we have identified 883 rat liver membrane proteins, of which 490 had a gene ontology (GO) annotation indicating a cellular component, and 294 (60%) of the latter were known integral membrane proteins or membrane proteins. In total, 333 proteins are predicted by the TMHMM 2.0 algorithm to have transmembrane domains (TMDs) and 52% (175 of 333) proteins to contain 2-16 TMDs. The identified membrane proteins provide a broad representation of the rat plasma membrane proteome with little bias evident due to protein p I and molecular weight (MW). Also, membrane proteins with a high GRAVY score (grand average hydrophobicity score) were identified, and basic and acidic membrane proteins were evenly represented. This study not only offered an efficient and powerful method in shotgun proteomics for the identification of proteins of complex plasma membrane samples but also allowed in-depth study of liver membrane proteomes, such as of rat models of liver-related disease. This work represents one of the most comprehensive proteomic analyses of the membrane subproteome of rat liver plasma membrane in general. 相似文献

Here we demonstrate the usefulness of peptide fractionation by SDS-free polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its applicability to proteomics studies. In the absence of SDS, the driving force for the electrophoretic migration toward the anode is supplied by negatively charged acidic amino acid residues and other residues as phosphate, sulfate and sialic acid, while the resulting mobility depends on both the charge and the molecular mass of the peptides. A straightforward method was achieved for SDS-PAGE of proteins, enzyme digestion, peptide transfer and fractionation by SDS-free PAGE, which was named dual-fractionation polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (DF-PAGE). This method increases the number of identified proteins 2.5-fold with respect to the proteins identified after direct analysis, and more than 80% of assigned peptides were found in unique SDS-free gel slices. A vast majority of identified peptides (93%) have p I values below 7.0, and 7% have p I values between 7.0 and 7.35. Peptide digests that were derived from complex protein mixtures were in consequence simplified as peptides that are positively charged are not recovered in the present conditions. The analysis of a membrane protein extract from Neisseria meningitidis by this approach allowed the identification of 97 proteins, including low-abundance components. 相似文献

The small number of hair cells in auditory and vestibular organs severely impedes the biochemical characterization of the proteins involved in mechano-electrical transduction. By developing an efficient and clean "twist-off" method of hair bundle isolation, and by devising a sensitive, nonradioactive method to detect minute quantities of protein, we have partially overcome this limitation and have extensively classified the proteins of the bundles. To isolate hair bundles, we glue the saccular macula of the bullfrog to a glass coverslip, expose the tissue to a molten agarose solution, and allow the agarose to solidify to a firm gel. By rotating the gel disk with respect to the fixed macula, we isolate the hair bundles by shearing them at their mechanically weak bases. The plasma membranes of at least 80% of the stereocilia reseal. To visualize the proteins of the hair bundle, we covalently label them with biotin, separate them by SDS-PAGE, and transfer them to a charged nylon membrane. We can detect less than 500 fg of protein by probing the membrane with streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase and detecting the chemiluminescent product from the hydrolysis of the substrate 3-(4-methoxyspiro-(1,2-dioxetane-3,2'-tricyclo-[3.3.1. 1(3.7)]decan)-4-yl) phenyl phosphate (AMPPD). These techniques reveal a distinct constellation of proteins in and associated with hair bundles. Several proteins, such as calmodulin, calbindin, actin, tubulin, and fimbrin, have previously been described. A second class of proteins in the preparation appears to be derived from extracellular sources. Finally, several heretofore undescribed bundle proteins are identified and characterized by their membrane topology, subcellular localization, and glycosidase and protease sensitivities. 相似文献

A new method for electrophoretic retrieval of protein zones from Immobiline matrices is described, based on elution directly in a free liquid phase, rather than in ion-exchange beads or molecular sieves, as previously described. The chopped Immobiline gel is loaded on top of a 5% T stacking gel, 6-10 mm in height, and forced to transverse it and collect into a chamber, filled with 20% sucrose solution, closed on its anodic side by a dialysis sac. The transfer is practically quantitative, for most proteins, after 30-60 min of zone electrophoresis at 10 W (300 V potential differential). Recovery of protein mass is in general better than 90%, while for enzyme activity is in the range of 60-80%. For preserving enzyme integrity, the following precautions are recommended: short electrophoretic times; avoidance of anodic oxidation; chilling of the buffer in the anodic chamber; and use of low levels (2-5 mM) of the specific enzyme substrate throughout the entire electrophoretic system (cathode, anode and gel plug). 相似文献

A discontinuous and highly porous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel system of high resolution 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
A highly porous and efficient discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis system is described. The slab get consists of two porous layers of acrylamide of the following composition: 4% acrylamide, 0.04% bisacrylamide for the stacking gel, and 10% acrylamide, 0.1% bisacrylamide for the separating gel, both layers having different buffers. The separating gel mixture (final pH 9.0) and the buffers of the electrode chamber (pH 8.45) consist of Tris and glycine in such a ratio that no acid or base is necessary to adjust the pH. The resulting gel system has the following advantages: (a) it is able to resolve the components from large-volume samples (up to 200 microliter) after an overnight electrophoresis run while still maintaining the capacity to produce very sharp bands; (b) it has a high and broad resolution, allowing the separation on the same gel of proteins with apparent molecular masses between 10,000 and 450,000 Da; (c) it is very easy to prepare and shows excellent reproducibility in the electrophoretic patterns; (d) when used as a second dimension in tandem with isoelectric focusing, it improves the resolving power of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; and finally, (e) its low crosslinker-to-acrylamide ratio allows the effective and rapid transfer of proteins to nitrocellulose membrane, thus improving the usefulness of protein blotting. In all cases, adrenal medullary chromaffin cell proteins were used as test samples. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for recovering subnanomole amounts of protein from SDS/polyacrylamide gel electroeluates in a form suitable for gas-phase sequence analysis has been developed. By a judicious choice of reversed-phase column packing, proteins can be retained at high concentrations of n-propanol (90-100%) where sodium dodecylsulfate and acrylamide gel-related contaminants are washed through the column. Retained proteins can be recovered from the column in high yield (greater than 90%) by the simultaneous adding of an ion-pairing reagent into the mobile phase and elution with a gradient of decreasing n-propanol concentration (i.e. an 'inverse or negative gradient'). Furthermore, by using a steep gradient (e.g. 50%/min) at a low flow rate (20-200 microliters/min) the proteins can be recovered in less than 100 microliters and can be used for gas-phase sequence analysis without further manipulation. This procedure is independent of sodium dodecylsulfate concentration (up to 1.2% w/v) in sample loading volumes of up to 1.5 ml. Microbore columns (2.1 mm internal diameter) have been employed for recovering small amounts of protein (1-100 micrograms from electroeluates of protein-containing gel spots while conventional columns (4.6 mm internal diameter) were used for isolating larger amounts of protein (greater than 500 micrograms) from electroeluates of preparative gel bands. The general utility of this inverse-gradient high-performance liquid chromatography procedure has been demonstrated by its successful application in recovering a wide variety of proteins from sodium dodecylsulfate gel electroeluates in a form suitable for N-terminal sequence analysis in the 10-500 pmol range. 相似文献

A nitrocellulose gel transfer technique has been adapted to study the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins of human serum. Normal and hypopituitary sera were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by electroblotting to nitrocellulose or nylon membrane. Nonidet-P40 (3%) and Tween 20 (0.1%) were required for quenching and to allow detection of the IGF binding proteins by autoradiography after overlay with either 125I-labeled IGF I or IGF II. Several forms of IGF binding protein have been identified with molecular weights of 41,500, 38,500, 34,000, 30,000, and 24,000. Titration and competitive binding studies with IGF were performed on the transferred IGF binding proteins, indicating that binding proteins isolated by this technique can be characterized. 相似文献

Antisperm antibodies (ASA) can cause infertility in both men and women. It is important to delineate the sperm antigens against which these ASA are directed. Sperm proteins were separated by 2D gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and incubated with sera from fertile women or immunoinfertile women having ASA. The corresponding immunoreactive peptide spots were cored from the gel and analyzed by the two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis/matrix-assisted laser desoprtion ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS/LC-MS). A total of 68 spots belonging to 38 different proteins and their isomers were identified. Fourteen of these proteins and their isomers reacted with both the fertile and immunoinfertile sera. Twenty-four of these proteins reacted specifically only with the immunoinfertile sera and not with the fertile sera. Among them was a novel protein designated as a hypothetical protein FLJ32704 (accession # Q96MA6). An immunodominant sequence (amino acid 151-159) of this protein was identified and a nonamer peptide based upon this sequence (IQTLG1TPR) was synthesized and examined for its immunoreactivity. This synthetic peptide reacted with 90% (36/40) of immunoinfertile sera and not with any of the fertile sera (0/40) in the enzyme-linked immnosorbent assay (ELISA). In conclusion, using the 2D gel electrophoresis/MALDI-TOF-MS/LC-MS procedure, we have identified several known and at least one novel antigen against which the antibodies are present in sera of immunoinfertile but not fertile women. Some of these antigens may find applications in specific diagonsis and treatment of infertility/immunoinfertility, and in the development of new generation of contraceptive modalities including contraceptive vaccines. 相似文献
