  • Patent number: 9095549
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of diagnosis of colorectal cancer in a diagnostic sample of a valid body tissue taken from a human subject, which comprises detecting an increased concentration of a protein in the diagnostic sample, compared with a control, normal human sample, the protein being: transforming growth factor-beta induced protein IG-H3 (SwissProt Acc. No. Q15582); suppressor of G2 allele of SKP1 homolog (isoform 2) (SwissProt Acc. No. Q9Y2Z0-2); hypothetical protein (part of URG4) (SwissProt Acc. No. Q9NWR7); calponin-2 (SwissProt Acc. No. Q99439); heat shock protein HSP90-beta (SwissProt Acc. No. P08238); phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (SwissProt Acc. No. P18669); serpin C1 protein (SwissProt Acc. No. P01008); or haptoglobin precursor (SwissProt Acc. No. P00738); or a decreased concentration of a protein in the diagnostic sample, compared with a control, normal human sample, the protein being serotransferrin (SwissProt Acc. No. P02787); 26S proteasome subunit p40.5 (Swiss Prot Acc. No.

  • Publication number: 20110165146
    Abstract: Methods and compositions relating to Alzheimer's disease are provided. Specifically, proteins that are differentially expressed in the Alzheimer's disease state relative to their expression in the normal state are provided. Proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease are identified and described. Methods of diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using the differentially expressed proteins are also provided, as are methods for the identification and therapeutic use of compounds for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

  • Publication number: 20050042676
    Abstract: Provided is a method for characterising a polypeptide or a population of polypeptides, which method comprises the steps of: (a) contacting a sample comprising one or more polypeptides with a lysine reactive agent to cap ?-amino groups; (b) optionally reacting the sample of polypeptides with an amine reactive reagent to block ?-amino groups; (c) digesting the sample of polypeptides with a cleavage reagent to produce peptide fragments; (d) optionally deactivating the cleavage reagent; (e) removing those peptides having uncapped or unblocked amino groups; and (f) recovering the N-terminal peptides.

  • Publication number: 20040248127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for fractionating a sample of macromolecules, in particular for electrophoretically separating proteins, characterized in that at least one macromolecule in the sample is modified, before carrying out the separation method, with at least one group which can be partially or completely eliminated once again under mild conditions.
