Comparative proteome profiling using stable isotope peptide labelling and mass spectrometry has emerged as a promising strategy. Here, we show the broad potential of our proprietary protein sequence tag (PST) technology. A special feature of PST is its ability to detect a wide variety of proteins including the pharmaceutically relevant membrane and nuclear proteins. This procedure addresses a similar number of proteins, compared to the multidimensional protein identification technology approach, but offers additionally a quantitative analysis with its recently developed quantitative PST version.
