Beagle serum proteins were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and the electrophoretograms were examined by one- and two-dimensional analyses with a laser densitometer. In order from the anodic side of the PAGE pattern, pre-albumin, hexokinase, tyrosinase, alkaline phosphatase, urease, and aldehyde dehydrogenase were assumed to be present based on Rf and Mw. Serum albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, and catalase appeared to be present based on a comparison of their electrophoretic mobility with that of protein standards of known Mw. Verification of beagle serum protein fractions by immunofixation electrophoresis and western blotting electrophoresis, with rabbit anti-human serum, indicated alpha 1-antitrypsin, albumin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, C3c complement, IgG, and IgA. Serum protein fraction values (%) obtained by one- and two-dimensional analyses were similar.

Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a effective and widely used immunosuppressive agent. Nevertheless, its intense nephrotoxicity restricts clinical application. In this study, wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a low-dose group and a high-dose group. The rats in the low-dose group and those in the high-dose group were given CsA at a daily dose of 5 mg per kg and 100 mg per kg by gavage for 7 d respectively, while the control group was given distilled water of equal volume. The extent of renal impairment was evaluated by renal function assay, and urease and pathological observation. The results showed that the rats in the low-dose group did not suffer remarkable renal impairment, while the rats in the high-dose group did. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) was utilized to resolve the plasma protein profile. Six spots showing stable and significantly different expression were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS and ESI-TOF-MS/MS respectively, the two induced proteins were identified respectively as alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) and clusterin (CLUS), and the one inhibited was haptoglobin (Hp).
