Figure Lengend Snippet: 2D gels of commercially available extracts of human adult heart. (a) The Coomassie stained human adult heart protein across the gel. Seven spots A, B, C, D, E, F, and G were identified, which are not visible clearly. (b) This panel represents the enlarged portion of the gel in (a) and shows clearly A–E spots. (c) The PVDF filter was stained with CH1 monoclonal antibody followed by treatment with secondary antibody as mentioned under Materials and Methods and subsequently treated with ECL and exposed to X-ray film. (d) Developed X-ray film was merged on the top of the Coomassie stained blot. (e) Enlarged nine spots (A–I) were marked on the PVDF filter (as in (a) and (b)) and on the duplicate gel. All the spots were marked and excised and were used for extraction of protein for subsequent mass spectrometric analyses. Extracted peptides from spots E, F, and G were analyzed for mass spectrometry as described in the method section.
