A gel-free technique using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) was employed to create a protein expression profile of the strain. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to identify the proteins. Protein functionalities were searched to classify them. A total of 235 proteins were identified in the whole cell protein fraction of <em>C. jejuni </em>NCTC11168 cells using iTRAQ analysis. Functional grouping of the identified proteins showed that forty percent of these proteins were associated with energy metabolism, protein synthesis and genetic information processing. iTRAQ was faster, easier and proved more sensitive than two-dimensional gel-based proteomics approaches previously applied to <em>C. jejuni</em>, making it an attractive tool for further studies of cellular physiological response.<strong> </strong></p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i4.11253">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i4.11253</a> <strong> </strong></p>Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 2(4): 464-477<p> </p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology}, author={Shi, Zilun and Dawson, Chris and On, Stephen L.W. and Hussain, Malik Altaf}, year={2014}, month={Dec.}, pages={464–477} }
