Highly sensitive and specific protein detection via combined capillary isoelectric focusing and proximity ligation

Abstract Detection and quantification of proteins and their post-translational modifications are crucial to decipher functions of complex protein networks in cell biology and medicine. Capillary isoelectric focusing together with antibody-based detection can resolve and identify proteins and their i...
