Identification of proteins with enzymatic activity by mass spectrometry (MS) and concomitant determination of function by screening enzyme activity from two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) is one of the challenges of gel-based proteomics. In this protocol, proteins are extracted from spinal cord tissue followed by 2DE with in-gel digestion and identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. Protein spots identified as possible enzyme of interest are punched, eluted by SDS-containing Tris buffer and renatured by buffers under reductive conditions.

Insulin, immobilized on a solid phase, was allowed to react with serum samples containing anti-insulin antibodies. Bound anti-insulin IgG interacted with mouse monoclonal antibodies specific for total IgG or for each IgG isotype.

The method proved to be highly effective. It was useful in discovering amounts as high as 10-20 ng of the antigen, while with the use of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) amounts of about 200 ng could be evaluated.

The immunological properties of these species have been studied by immunodiffusion, Laurell rocket immunoelectrophoresis, crossed immunoelectrophoresis, hemagglutination, and immunofluorescence. Antisera raised against either adult bovine articular or foetal bovine epiphyseal proteoglycan monomer were monospecific.
