Proteomics of Neuroregeneration:Discovery of a Biomarker of Brain Repair Quantitative proteomics of mouse brain during post-traumatic regeneration2-D gel analysis of proteins in regenerating brain. The enlarged boxes in the 2-D gels show three spot intensities that were significantly increased in the injured hippocampus. High-resolution proteomic data showed strong upregulation of the protein 14-3-3 during healing.We conclude that the isotope-based quantitative proteomic method is a highly useful approach to assess protein expression levels in defined parts of the brain after specific brain injury.
