Abstract
Methods for standardization of silver‐“stained” protein position in two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are presented for their application to simultaneous multiple gel systems. Four methods are discussed: the use of a single gel per simultaneous run for standardization with either (1) known quantities of commercially prepared high‐or low‐molecular‐weight standards or (2) a known biological preparation such as T4 phage coat proteins; the use of each gel per simultaneous run to standardize itself by (3) including an internal carbamylation train such as creatine phosphokinase and using a one‐dimensional gel pattern of proteins such as rat heart whole homogenate along the margin(s) or (4) identifying “marker” protein spots in test samples that occur in all gels in a given study and standardizing to relative position. Method four is discussed in detail and examples given of its use in a comparative study of proteins in spontaneous primary hepatocellular carcinomas occurring in mice, and its use compared to the other methods.
