Research Article Cites Cleanascite™ for Bead-based Antibody Array Proteome Analysis of Human Bile

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. - Feb. 23, 2017 - PRLog -- Biotech Support Group reports on a recent research article describing the simplicity and efficiency of their lipid clearance sample preparation technology for bile fluid.

The citation is:

Vesterhus, Mette, et al. "Novel serum and bile protein markers predict primary sclerosing cholangitis disease severity and prognosis." Journal of Hepatology (2017).
dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2017.01.019

In brief, the article's authors aimed to identify novel protein biomarkers of disease severity and prognosis in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). They analyzed bile samples using a bead-based array targeting 63 proteins. The article states "The samples were thawed and 100 μL of bile was added to 150 μL PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 and Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA), then centrifuged at 4 °C for 10 minutes at 14000 rpm. CleanAscite™ (100 μL, Biotech Support Group, NJ, USA)…". The authors identified novel biliary and serum biomarkers of severity and prognosis in PSC.

"This reference shows the versatility of Cleanascite™ to efficiently remove lipids from bile fluid, with a selectivity profile suitable for proteome analysis using antibody-based arrays." states Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
