Protein Sulfhydryl Group Oxidation and Mixed-Disulfide Modifications in Stable and Unstable Human Carotid Plaques

Figure 3

Representative 2D electrophoretic patterns of F5M-labelled proteins and the corresponding CBB staining from stable ((a) and (c)) and unstable ((b) and (d)) plaque extracts. In (a) and (b), inverted fluorescent images are reported. The molecular weight scale was constructed from protein standards (Invitrogen BenchMark Protein Ladder) run alongside the focused strip in the second dimension. The pI scale is based on the linear immobilized pH gradient over 7 cm strips. The numbers indicated on the gels correspond to the spot numbers given in Table 1.
