Subtopic 4.5: Proteomics Assay
The proteomic assay is performed to know the mechanism of cellular toxicity by measuring expression of a specific protein which may consider as a biomarker for particular toxic mechanism or cellular toxicity signaling pathway. Immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation and immunoblot assay are mainly used to know the effect of toxicants in cellular toxicity signaling pathway or mechanism (Figure 5).
