Abstrakt: Context: Systemic events resulting from mother-embryo relation at the peri-implantation period may result in specific changes to the protein composition of serum and thus provide a source of biomarkers for early detection of pregnancy.
Aims: We set out to use two different quantitative proteomic approaches to test this hypothesis by comparing heifer serum at the peri-implantation period to that from cycling heifers.
Methods: Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and isobaric tags were used for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) of proteins.
Key Results: These methods yielded complementary data indicating biomarker candidate proteins.
Conclusions: Different proteomic methods provide different and complementary information that needs to be analysed in order to consider proteins as potential biomarkers.
Implications: In order to characterise the proteome under specific conditions, the use of complementary techniques is advisable.
