Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying cell-specific proteins comprising the following steps: a) determining cell-specific protein combination patterns of n cells; b) comparing the protein combination patterns of healthy and pathologically or physiologically modified cells of one cell type or comparing the protein combination patterns of cells of a different cell type affected by the same disease; c1) subtracting the coincident parts of the protein combination patterns of healthy and pathologically or physiologically modified cells of one cell type compared in step b) and determining a cell-specific protein resulting therefrom; or c2) subtracting the non-coincident parts of the protein combination patterns of cells of a different cell type affected by the same disease compared in step b) and determining a cell-specific protein resulting therefrom; and d) identifying the resulting cell-specific protein in terms of molecules and spatial structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the automatic analysis of microscope images of biological objects such as, for example, fluorescence images of cells, comprising: a) at least two microscope images are taken from a sample; b) a positive training set is determined from image excerpts; c) a negative training set is determined from a sequence of image excerpts; d) characteristic features of a training set are assigned to classification values; e) classification values of a sequence of images are automatically determined by means of the assignment determined in d); f) the position of biological objects is recognized by comparing the classification value with a threshold value.
