Table 3. DeCyder software analysis highlighted statistically significant spots, based on technical replicates, differentially expressed in nuclear and cortical regions (p<0.05) from the 2D-DIGE gel of a 69 year-old lens (Figure 3) and crystallin species were then identified by ESI-QTRAP LC-MS/MS (Appendix 1).
