The Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) profile of isoforms (peaks) of a glycoprotein can be useful to show alterations in its posttranslational modifications (PTMs) linked to diseases. These changes can modify the electrophoretic mobility of these isoforms in a minor extent and, therefore, very reproducible CE methods are needed to detect them. In this chapter, a method for the analysis of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE) with UV detection is detailed. High reproducibility in the separation of a large number of PSA isoforms is achieved by performing capillary conditioning in acid media and by using a background electrolyte (BGE) at pH 8.0 formulated with decamethonium bromide and urea.
糖蛋白异构体(峰)的毛细管电泳(CE)图谱有助于显示其与疾病相关的翻译后修饰(PTM)的改变。这些变化会在较小程度上改变这些异构体的电泳迁移率,因此,需要非常可重复的CE方法来检测它们。在本章中,详细介绍了一种采用紫外检测的毛细管区带电泳(CZE)分析前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)的方法。通过在酸性介质中进行毛细管预处理,并使用由溴化十烃季铵和尿素配制的pH 8.0的背景电解质(BGE),可在分离大量PSA异构体时实现高重现性。
