Two Dimensional 2D- Protein Staining Two-dimensional 2-D protein gel stained with Deep Purple™ Total Protein Stain. Protein sample consists of HBL100 breast cell line and BT474 breast cell carcinoma. First dimension: Immobiline™ DryStrip pH 3-10 NL 24cm run on Ettan™ IPGphor IEF System. Second dimension: DALT Gel 12.5 run on Ettan DALTtwelve Large Vertical Electrophoresis System. Scanning: Typhoon 9400 Variable Mode Imager: Excitation green laser (532 nm); emission 560LP filter PMT 530 V 100 μm resolution. The gel image shows the pH 3-8 region where most proteins are present. |

Four-color competitive gel shift assay Four-color competitive gel shift assay to determine the relative affinities of the Salmonella spp. bacteriophage P22 repressor Mnt (1). In the assay the repressor is allowed to bind four different oligonucloetides labeled with FAM HEX TAMRA and ROX respectively at the same time. The intensities for each fluorophore in a lane are related directly to the relative affinity of the repressor protein for the oligonucleotide use |
