title: Alzheimer brain proteins investigated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradients in the first dimension.
abstract: Two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradient 4-8 in the first dimension was applied in the analysis of Alzheimer's disease brain proteins. The silver-stained 2-D maps of extracts from the frontal cerebral cortex were examined. About 800 and 550 protein spots could be observed on the electrophoretograms from the total and buffer-soluble fractions, respectively. In comparing the gels, four protein spots could now be detected which had either been hitherto undetectable (one spot) or which were weaker (two spots) or stronger (one spot) in density (in the controls) [corrected].
