  1. Statistical information about LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis are reported in Additional files 2 and 3. Changes in the relative spot volumes are the mean ± SE of six 2-DE gels derived from three independent biological samples analyzed in duplicate (n = 6). Proteins were classified according to MIPS funcat categories.
