No. of spots showing up regulation Up regulation No. of folds (and above)No.of spots Up regulation x Folds or above Differential expression : Up regulation
Expression profile: Up regulation(2-2.5 folds up) -11 spots ABCDEF GHIJK Mean normalized value of group-Control(Healthy person) Mean normalized value of group 2 (P.falciparum diseased person) Ratio =
Down Regulation No. of folds (and above)No. of spots No. of spots showing up regulation Down regulation x Folds or above Differential expression : Down regulation
Expression profile: Down regulation(9-10 folds down) - 9 spots ABCDE FGHI Mean normalized value of group-Control(Healthy person) Ratio = Mean normalized value of group 2 (P.falciparum diseased person)
Conclusion 2DE gel analysis using software helps to establish differential expression profile. Gives the user information about up and down regulated protein spots. Provides approximate pI and Molecular weight information. The differential expressed spots may be further subjected to mass spectrometry to allow the further characterization.
