We have used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) coupled with computer-assisted data analysis to analyze liver-protein expression in mice known to be heterozygous carriers of recessive lethal mutations induced in In(1)1Rk or In(7)13Rk inversion stocks by exposure to either triethylene melamine or ionizing radiation. Carriers of 8 different mutations and corresponding littermate controls (average of 17 individuals in each group) were screened for liver-protein differences. Both qualitative and quantitative protein differences were detected that correlated with unique pedigrees among the mouse stocks analyzed. Such strain-specific differences demonstrated that quantitative differences (either increases or decreases) in protein abundance of greater than 25% can be readily detected by using this 2DE system. Thus the 50% reduction in expression of a protein expected in the event of a structural gene deletion is well within the level of detection. No significant quantitative decreases in protein expression that correlated with the recessive lethal mutations were detected, however.
