Notes:
Serum proteins associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and high resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) under nonreducing conditions. Proteins a, b, c (Mr 13 000; pI 6.2, 6.7 and 7.5, respectively) and e (Mr 27 000; pI 5.2) appear simultaneously ∼ 30 h after infarction, reach maximum intensity after 48 h and progressively decline thereafter. Protein d (Mr 15 000; pI 7-8.5; identified as hemoglobin) sometimes appears within 18 h of infarction. Proteins a-c are not detected in the 2-DE patterns of healthy myocardium, infarcted myocardium, pectoral muscle or tongue, but e is present in all and tentatively identified as myosin light chain. Other myocardial proteins which are either reduced in amount following infarction or more specifically associated with myocardium than pectoral muscle are not detected in the serum of AMI patients. Analysis of unconcentrated urine by SDS-PAGE and silver staining does not reveal proteins specific to AMI.
