Insulin stimulated MCF7 breast cancer cells: Proteome dataset.

The proteome data provided in this article were acquired from MCF7 breast cancer cells stimulated with insulin, and were generated by using a 2D-SCX (strong cation exchange)/RPLC (reversed phase liquid chromatography) separation protocol followed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS) detection. To facilitate data re-processing by more advanced search engines and the extraction of additional information from already existing files, both raw and processed data are provided. The sample preparation, data acquisition and processing protocols are described in detail.

Microfluidic platform with mass spectrometry detection for the analysis of phosphoproteins.

The development of novel and reliable technologies for the analysis of proteins and their post-translational modifications, in particular, has recently received much attention and interest. The implementation of a fully integrated microfluidic device interfaced with MS detection for the analysis of phosphoproteins is presented in this paper. The microfluidic platform (3''x1.

Proteome profile of the MCF7 cancer cell line: a mass spectrometric evaluation.

The development of novel proteomic technologies that will enable the discovery of disease specific biomarkers is essential in the clinical setting to facilitate early diagnosis and increase survivability rates. We are reporting a shotgun two-dimensional (2D) strong cationic exchange/reversed-phase liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (SCX/RPLC/ESI-MS/MS) protocol for the analysis of proteomic constituents in cancerous cells. The MCF7 breast cancer cell line was chosen as a model system.

Microfluidic liquid chromatography system for proteomic applications and biomarker screening.

A microfluidic liquid chromatography (LC) system for proteomic investigations that integrates all the necessary components for stand-alone operation, i.e., pump, valve, separation column, and electrospray interface, is described in this paper.
