Figure Lengend Snippet: Altered protein yields of RNAlater™ containing saliva samples following ReadyPrep 2D Cleanup kit™ and ReadyPrep Reduction-Alkylation kit™ treatments in comparison with untreated, native saliva samples. 2D gel electrophoresis results of a representative untreated human saliva ( a ) compared with RNAlater™, ReadyPrep 2-D Cleanup kit™ and ReadyPrep Reduction-Alkylation kit™ treated sample ( b ) indicate a significant decrease in protein yields despite of the protective manipulations. Highlighted areas (1–3) represent identical protein regions following separation.
