HCP Profiling Analysis
Our HCP Profiling analyses detect, quantify and compare HCP compositions of 3 HCP samples in 1 test. For projects with more than 3 samples, Cross-gel analysis will be performed using customers pre-set control. This platform has been successfully applied in the following areas:
- Compare batch-to-batch HCP profile
- Track purification process
The analysis contains two components:
- HCP Image Analysis: Direct visualization and comparison of HCP profile such as compositions, modifications and fragmentations that no other platform could achieve.
- HCP Quantitative Analysis: Total spot count of each sample, spot overlapping between samples, protein ratios between samples, individual HCP quantity, total HCP quantity and DS quantity.
A. HCP Image analysis
Gel images of each sample and overlay of two sample images will be generated. In the overlay image, spots with green, red and yellow color indicate decreased, increased and similar expression, respectively.
Example: Image analysis of HCP samples CHO_S1, CHO_S2 and CHO_S3
CHO_S1: 2445 Spots
CHO_S2: 1979 Spots
CHO_S3: 2378 Spots
CHO_S1 / CHO_S2
CHO_S1 / CHO_S3
CHO_S2 / CHO_S3
B. HCP Quantitative analysis
The following quantification analysis can be performed to assess and compare the global protein profiling of HCP samples:
- Spot counting of each sample
- Spot overlapping between samples: % spots overlapped between HCP samples
- Protein level comparison (protein ratio) between samples: Using our standard or customer set cutoffs, % spots increased, decreased or similarly expressed between HCP samples.
- HCP and DS ppm: Quantification of specific HCP and DS spots
Example: Quantification analysis of HCP samples CHO_S1, CHO_S2 and CHO_S3
B1. Spot Counting of each sample: Number of detected spots for each sample
- CHO_S1: 2445 Spots
- CHO_S2: 1979 Spots
- CHO_S3: 2378 Spots
B2. Spot Overlapping between samples:
| Gel | S1 spots | S2 spots | Overlapping spots | % S1 spots covered by S2 | % S2 spots covered by S1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2445 | 1979 | 1888 | 77.2% | 95.4% |
| Gel | S1 spots | S3 spots | Overlapping spots | % S1 spots covered by S3 | % S3 spots covered by S1 |
| 1 | 2445 | 2378 | 2185 | 89.4% | 91.9% |
| Gel | S2 spots | S3 spots | Overlapping spots | % S2 spots covered by S3 | % S3 spots covered by S2 |
| 1 | 1979 | 2378 | 1836 | 92.8% | 77.2% |
B3. Protein ratios between samples: The table below shows the % spot numbers in each category using 2-fold and 5-fold of protein ratios as a cutoff.
| Gel | Comparison | Protein Ratio: 2 Fold Cutoff | Protein Ratio: 5 Fold Cutoff | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Decreased % | Similar % | Increased % | Decreased % | Similar % | Increased % | ||
| 1 | CHO_S2 / CHO_S1 | 26.3% | 54.6% | 19.1% | 8.3% | 89.7% | 2.0% |
| CHO_S3 / CHO_S1 | 16.9% | 67.7% | 15.4% | 2.6% | 95.6% | 1.8% | |
| CHO_S3 / CHO_S2 | 20.2% | 52.1% | 27.8% | 3.0% | 87.3% | 9.8% | |
Below is spot map showing spot distribution with 2-fold cutoff: Red, green and yellow indicate spots with increased>2-fold, decreased>2-fold and within 2-fold, respectively.

Sample Info
Please follow these general principles regarding biohazardous materials and buffer condition in getting your samples ready.
Protein amount for each gel: 20-50 µg of total protein from each sample.
Protein concentration: 5-20 mg/ml is preferred.
Buffer: Please feel free to submit samples in whichever buffer that you would normally use. The standard sample preparation is covered by the DIGE gel cost. Such samples should have protein concentration in the range of 5-20 mg/ml. Additional charge may apply on samples that require extensive amount of the extra work such as protein eluting, concentrating, buffer exchange or serum abundant protein depletion.
Sample type: Please inform our scientists about your sample type. We will send you additional tips for each sample type.
