title: Application of three-way principal component analysis to the evaluation of two-dimensional maps in proteomics.
abstract: Three-way PCA has been applied to proteomic pattern images to identify the classes of samples present in the dataset. The developed method has been applied to two different datasets: a rat sera dataset, constituted by five samples of healthy Wistar rat sera and five samples of nicotine-treated Wistar rat sera; a human lymph-node dataset constituted by four healthy lymph-nodes and four lymph-nodes affected by a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The method proved to be successful in the identification of the classes of samples present in both of the groups of 2D-PAGE images, and it allowed us to identify the regions of the two-dimensional maps responsible for the differences occurring between the classes for both rat sera and human lymph-nodes datasets.
