title: The use of radioactive bacteriophage proteins as X-Y markers for silver stained two-dimensional electrophoresis gels and quantification of the patterns.
abstract: We have demonstrated the feasibility of using bacteriophage ghost proteins, tritiated by metabolic labeling, as a set of standard markers for two-dimensional gels in which the proteins are to be detected by silver staining. The results indicate that a 2.5 microgram load of phage proteins yields a reproducible silver pattern of 48 spots. The spots can also be readily identified by radioautography and radiofluorography, establishing their value as a standard constellation of markers. Quantification of these patterns by computerized densitometry indicates a general agreement between detection by silver staining and detection by radiofluorography.
