EXAMPLE ABSTRACT (250 word maximum) 

	Comparative Analysis of Preparation Techniques for Proteomic Research

	The goal of this research was to find a cost effective solution in the depletion of high abundant proteins for proteomic research in biomarker 			
	
	discovery related to chronic conditions in organisms. A comparative analysis of the Aurum Affi-gel, Albusorb, and IgY-12 depletion kits from			
	
	Bio-Rad, Biotech, and Beckman Coulter, respectively, were performed.  Each kit was assessed on quality of ligand specificity in 1D-PAGE as 			
	
	well as resolution and spot reproducibility in 2D-PAGE.  Protein depletion rates of 75%, 67%, and 93% were determined for the Bio-Rad, Biotech, 			
	
	and Beckman Coulter kits, respectively. Volume analysis of paired spots before and after protein depletion showed a volume increase in all three 			
	
	kits. The Bio-Rad and Biotech kit were determined to be inadequate for proteomic research due to non-specific binding, lack of resolution in 			
	
	2D-PAGE analysis and irreproducible results. The Beckman Coulter kit was determined to be sufficient for the proposed research into biomarker			
	
	discovery due to ligand specificity, increased resolution in 2D-PAGE analysis, and reproducibility.
