Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify using proteomic analysis, proteins of altered abundance in the skin of patients with SSc. METHODS: 4 mm excision biopsies were obtained from the forearm involved skin of 12 diffuse SSc patients and 12 healthy controls. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to separate and define proteins in normal and SSc skin biopsy material. Proteins of altered abundance in the disease were...
