Proteomic Platform - Core Facility (ProtCF)


The Proteomics Platform Core Facility (ProtCF) is located at the Institute of Surgical Pathology (IKP) in Freiburg and supports
mass spectrometry-based proteomics research. ProtCF handles projects from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Freiburg,
other university faculties, and external research collaborations. In addition to offering pure measurement services using
state-of-the-art mass spectrometry methods, ProtCF also provides, upon request, support and execution of experimental design,
sample preparation, measurement, data analysis, biostatistics, and data interpretation.
The standard range of services includes:
gel-free proteome analysis using Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) or Data Dependent Acquisition (DDA), co-immunoprecipitation
(Co-IP) analyses, quantitative proteome comparisons using both label-free and label-based quantification methods (e.g., TMT),
identification of post-translational modifications, identification of protease cleavage sites using N-terminomics, identification
of proteins from gel bands, targeted proteomics, and proteomic analysis of a wide variety of sample types including cells
from tissue culture, tissue from animal models, patient material (fresh tissue, urine, blood serum, liquor), cryo-conserved
tissue, formalin-fixed-paraffin embedded tissue, and more.

Scientific Services
1) Identification of proteins and peptides with liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) or
MALDI-MS.
2) Comparative quantitation (explorative) with the following techniques: label-free ("LFQ"), metabolic labeling
("SILAC"), or chemical labeling (dimethylation or tandem mass tags).
3) Data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics especially
for explorative cohort studies.
4) Targeted proteomics (incl. quantitation) of peptide and protein panels with single/multiple
reaction monitoring or parallel reaction monitoring.
5) N-terminomics for the investigation of proteases
6) For all aforementioned
types of proteomics: sample preparation (gel-based or gel-free), also incl. chromatographic fractionation.
7) Data analysis
with MaxQuant, Fragpipe, OpenMS, DIA-NN und Spectronaut for explorative proteomics; Skyline or OpenSwath for targeted proteomcis
or DIA, respectively.
8) Teaching and training in proteomics, especially for doctoral students in medicine or science or post-graduates.
