Proteomic Platform - Core Facility (ProtCF)
The proteomics platform ProtCF supports mass spectrometry based proteome research. ProtCF is based on a joint initiative by
the Institute of Surgical Pathology and the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Cell Research at the Faculty of Medicine,
University of Freiburg. Naturally, ProtCF is also open to users beyond the Faculty of Medicine.
ProtCF supports the following
areas of proteomics:
(1) explorative identification and comparative quantitation of the proteome composition of complex biological
systems such as cells, tissues, and bodily fluids.
(2) targeted proteomics ("single/multiple reaction monitoring") of pre-selected
proteins from complex proteomes together with the possibility of absolute quantitation.
(3) spatially resolved proteomics
("Maldi Imaging").
ProtCF services further include project planing as well as sample preparation and data analysis.
ProtCF
special capabilities include the proteomic analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens and so-called "degradomic"
techniques to investigate substrates and specificity of proteolytic enzymes.

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) Spatially resolved, explorative proteomics ("MALDI Imaging").
6) N-terminomics
for the investigation of proteases
7) For all aforementioned types of proteomics: sample preparation (gel-based or gel-free),
also incl. chromatographic fractionation.
7) Data analysis with t MaxQuant, Trans Proteomic Pipeline or OpenMS for explorative
proteomics; Skyline or OpenSwath for targeted proteomcis or DIA, respectively; Cardinal for Maldi imaging.
8) Teaching and
training in proteomics, especially for doctoral students in medicine or science or post-graduates.
