Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an elegant gel electrophoretic analytical tool for comparative protein assessment. It is based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) separation of fluorescently labeled protein extracts. The tagging procedures are designed to not interfere with the chemical properties of proteins with respect to their pI and electrophoretic mobility, once a proper labeling protocol is followed. The use of an internal pooled standard makes 2D-DIGE a highly accurate quantitative method enabling multiple protein samples to be separated on the same two-dimensional gel. Technical limitations of this technique (i.e., underrating of low abundant, high molecular mass and integral membrane proteins) are counterbalanced by the incomparable separation power which allows proteoforms and unknown PTM (posttranslational modification) identification.

Abstract

Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an elegant gel electrophoretic analytical tool for comparative protein assessment. It is based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) separation of fluorescently labeled protein extracts. The tagging procedures are designed to not interfere with the chemical properties of proteins with respect to their pI and electrophoretic mobility, once a proper labeling protocol is followed. The use of an internal pooled standard makes 2D-DIGE a highly accurate quantitative method enabling multiple protein samples to be separated on the same two-dimensional gel. Technical limitations of this technique (i.e., underrating of low abundant, high molecular mass and integral membrane proteins) are counterbalanced by the incomparable separation power which allows proteoforms and unknown PTM (posttranslational modification) identification. Moreover, the image matching and cross-gel statistical analysis generates robust quantitative results making data validation by independent technologies successful.
