We are confronted daily to unknown microorganisms that have yet to be characterized, detected, and/or analyzed. We propose, in this study, a multidimensional strategy using polyclonal antibodies, consisting of a novel proteomic tool, the ProteomeLab PF2D, coupled to immunological techniques and mass spectrometry (i-PF2D-MS/MS). To evaluate this strategy, we have applied it to Bacillus subtilis, considered here as our unknown bacterial model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
