Comparison of whole-cell protein electrophoretic profiles of Haemophilus influenzae: implementation of a microcomputer mainframe linked system and description of a new similarity coefficient

Abstract: A microcomputer mainframe linked system is described which allows video camera data capture and storage of one-dimensional whole-cell protein electrophoresis gel images, processing of normalized traces to produce a similarity matrix, and analysis of the matrix using the commercial cluster analysis program CLUSTAN. A new similarity coefficient is introduced which takes into account both band position and intensity. Forty-five strains of Haemophilus influenzae, including the eight biotypes and six serotypes, wer… Show more

“…Later, more exact methods were applied, and numerical methods developed [4]. These involved calculation of similarities and clustering, applying the Pearson product correlation coefficient, coupled to the unweighted pairgroup with the arithmetic averages (UPGMA) method for clustering [5-81. Recently, a coefficient was constructed in which peak position and intensity are taken into account [9]. In AMBIS (automated microbiology identification system) bacterial strains are correlated by numerical analysis of the SDS-PAGE patterns of radiolabeled intracellular proteins [lo].…”
