Comparing the Protein Expression Between Fibroblast Sarcoma Cells and Normal Cells

My Capstone aims to compare select protein expression between mouse fibroblast sarcoma cells and normal cells. Building on a previous cell culture effort at Ensworth, I wanted to further this research by quantifying differences in cell cycle protein expressions between the two cultured cell lines. Mouse fibroblast cells will be cultured and sub-cultured in a sterile environment, proteins will be extracted, gels will differentiate protein products, and the results will be analyzed via western blotting. The final products of my research will be presented in the form of an academic poster and at the formal Capstone presentation.
