Abstract

Apoptosis is an essential process for selection of T lymphocytes specific for foreign antigen in the process of mammalian thymus maturation. Proteomics, a comprehensive study of proteins expressed in a cell, will facilitate the systematic analysis of protein molecules related to such a complicated biological system. Protein expression profiles including information about protein signatures, localization and their quantitative changes with extracellular stimulations are extremely useful to construct intracellular pathway models resulting in the apoptotic cell death.
