Differential expression of proteins in lung cancer using difference in gel electrophoresis (DIGE)

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early detection of lung cancer is problematic due to the lack of a marker with high diagnosis sensitivity and specificity. The purpose of this study was to develop techniques to identify the differential expression protein profiles between tumor and tumor free of lung cancer tissues. Methods: 2-dimensional differential ingel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and...
