Study background: Over the last two decades worldwide the mortality due to breast cancer (BC) raises catastrophically. Unfortunately, clinicians are still seeking for reliable resources for early speculations. Recently, the approach of investigative plasma based molecular markers builds a new hope for the early stage diseases.
Methods: Blood samples of healthy and BC individuals from North Indian women (n=25) were collected. In order to increase the detecting sensitivity of protein of interest, the pooled plasma samples were subjected to Multiple affinity removal system (MARS) Hu-14 and PROTEOPREP 20 and further processed by 2D-PAGE/LCMS/ MS analysis. Finally, the levels of selected proteins were independently estimated by western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
