With the sequencing of the human genome complete, the field of proteomics, still in its early stages, has become an important and informative field of biomedical research. Many of the protocols and techniques commonly employed by proteomics researchers have been refined over the past several years, while at the same time, new and innovative methods have also been developed. Significantly, many of the protocols used in the study of the human proteome have been developed to examine proteins derived specifically from cell lines, body fluids or human tissues. As a consequence, not all protocols...
