Tethered nanoparticles (NPs) are able to improve the separation efficiency of proteins in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) due to their capability of enhancing heat dissipation during electrophoresis and restriction of electrophoretic movement of NPs.

Abstract We describe a procedure for the convenient separation of proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of urine from cases of renal disease. A precipitation method that requires no special apparatus was used to concentrate the urinary proteins; for electrophoretic separation we used a commercially supplied polyacrylamide/cellulose gel slab. This method seems to be valuable for investigation of proteinuria; we recommend it for routine use.

<em>Bahan<strong> </strong>baku untuk membuat baso adalah daging hewan, pada umumnya dari daging sapi, ayam, ikan dan babi. Di beberapa daerah di Indonesia terjadi kasus baso tikus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji ada tidaknya kandungan daging tikus pada produk baso yang dijual di pasar Cempaka Putih-Kecamatan Kramat Jakarta Pusat dan di pedagang baso atau mie baso di sekitar kampus Universitas YARSI Jakarta. Daging adalah protein salah satu metode untuk mengidentifikasi protein adalah metode Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).<strong> </strong>Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 6 sampel baso terindikasi ada 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 1 dan 5 yang dibuat dari campuran daging sapi dan tikus; ada 1 sampel baso dengan nomor 6 yang terbuat dari daging tikus; dan 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 2 dan 3 yang terbuat dari campuran sapi  dan babi, dan hanya 1 sampel baso dengan nomor sampel 4 yang benar-benar terbuat dari daging sapi.</em>

ABSTRACT Bartonella species can be differentiated by microimmunofluorescence assay, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and immunoblotting with murine polyclonal antisera to Bartonella henselae, B. quintana, B. elizabethae, and B. bacilliformis. A pairwise comparison on the basis of SDS-PAGE protein profiles demonstrated similarity values for proteins of different Bartonella species ranging from 28.6 to 86.4%. Antigenic relationships revealed by immunoblotting with murine antisera were equivalent to those of proteins observed by SDS-PAGE. A dendrogram obtained on the basis of protein bands of SDS-polyacrylamide gels showed that Bartonella species could be divided into three groups. B. bacilliformis was distinct from all otherBartonella species; B. grahamii, B. taylorii, B. doshiae, and B. vinsoniiformed a cluster, as did B. henselae, B. quintana, B. elizabethae, and B. clarridgeiae. These relationships were consistent with those revealed by parsimony trees derived from 16S rRNA and gltAgene sequencing. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that 120-, 104-, 85-, 71-, 54-, 47-, 40-, 33-, 30-, and 19-kDa proteins were present in all species, with the 54-kDa protein being the most dominant. Proteins with a molecular mass of less than 54 kDa allow the differentiation of species and are a possible target for future species-specific antibodies and antigens.

Objectives: Several vaccine adjuvants comprise complex nano- or micro-particle formulations, such as oil-in-water emulsions. In order to characterize interactions and compatibility of oil-in-water emulsion adjuvants with protein antigens in vaccines, effective protein characterization methods that can accommodate potential interference from high concentrations of lipid-based particles are needed. Methods: Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is a standard protein characterization technique which is affected by the presence of adjuvants such as oil-in-water emulsions. In this article, we investigate variations in SDS-PAGE methods that result in a reduction of adjuvant-induced staining artifacts. We have investigated whether the SDS method or the adjuvant composition were the reason for these artifacts and succeeded in reducing the artifacts with a modified sample preparation and different staining procedures. Results: The best results were obtained by using gold staining or silver staining instead of a Coomassie Blue staining procedure. Moreover, the replacement of the dilution buffer (20% SDS to disrupt emulsion) by alternative detergents such as Tween® 80 and Triton® X-100 removed adjuvant-induced streaking artifacts at the top of the gel. Conclusions: These methods may be useful for improving characterization approaches of antigen–adjuvant mixtures by SDS-PAGE.

SUMMARYThe gene(s) controlling the high-molecular-weight glutelin subunits in rye (designated as Glu-Rl) was mapped with respect to the centromere using a 1RL-1DS wheat-rye translocation line and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Analysis of 479 seeds from test-crosses between a 1R/1RL-1DS heterozygote and the cultivar India 115, revealed 14·6% aneuploid and 3·95% recombinant progeny. Excluding the aneuploids, this locus was calculated to be 4·65 ± 1·04 cM from the centromere on the long arm of chromosome 1R, which is comparable to the position of the homoeologous loci in wheat and barley.
