Abstract:
1. A method of producing protein profile maps, comprising: a) providing: b) treating said first and second samples with said separating apparatus to produce a first separated protein sample and a second separated protein sample, wherein said first and second separated protein samples are collected from said separating apparatus in a plurality of fractions, each of said fractions defined by a physical property; and c) analyzing said plurality of fractions from each of said first and second separated protein samples with said mass spectroscopy apparatus to produce a protein profile map for each of said first and second samples, wherein said protein profile maps display protein abundance and mass of said first protein sample and said second protein sample, and wherein said protein profile maps displays each protein as a separate band corresponding to said mass of said first protein sample and said second protein sample, and wherein the intensity of said band corresponds to said protein abundance of said first protein sample and said second protein sample; and wherein said protein profile maps for each of said first and second samples are displayed side by side.
