Abstract
Although it is possible to identify new proteins from crude cell extracts using proteomics technology, it is often difficult to elucidate low‐abundant biomarkers in the presence of a large amount of high‐abundant proteins in serum. We have developed a simple and rapid method using an affinity spin tube filter to remove high‐abundant common proteins and enrich the low‐abundant biomarkers. The affinity spin tube filter contains protein G, coupled with antibodies against either high‐abundant proteins or specific proteins of interest. After incubating with serum, the flow‐through or the elute was collected and analyzed by two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis. By using this affinity spin tube filter, the possibilities of identifying new biomarkers are shown. This technique could be used for large‐scale sample preparation for high‐throughput proteomic analysis.Keywords
