Figure 1From: A proteomic strategy to identify novel serum biomarkers for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer in individuals with fatty liver disease Serum proteins separated by two dimensional gel electrophoresis in early and advanced NAFLD, with and without HCC. These are representative blots comparing immune depleted and desalted serum from a patient with NAFLD and no fibrosis, a patient with NAFLD cirrhosis, and a patient with NAFLD cirrhosis and cancer. Serum profiles separated by 2D gel electrophoresis from 5 patients in each group, run in duplicate, were compared using Progenesis software. 5 spots were characterised by MS after excision. Spots 1,2 and 3 were isoforms of apolipoprotein A1, spot 4 was apolipoprotein A4, and spot 5 was identified as CD5 antigen like, or CD5L.Back to article page
