Differentially expressed proteins between chemosensitive and chemoresistant ovarian cancer ascites identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS.

aSpot no. assigned by DeCyder 2-D Differential Analysis Software V6.0. corresponding to the DIGE image in Figure 1.bDecreased or increased ratio of protein in ascites of intrinsic chemoresistant ovarian cancer compared to chemosensitive ones; “–” indicates down-regulation of protein in ascites.cAccession no. from NCBInr database.dMascot scores greater than 40 were considered significant.eProtein function mainly categorized according to MeSH Tree Structure.fAlterations in the serum level may indicate: occurrence, tumor progression, response to therapy or prognosis for some malignancy reported in the literature.
