Use of SDS-PAGE/Western Blot Techniques as Diagnostic Tools for Equine Medical Conditions SDS-PAGE Overview Electrophoresis is commonly used to separate proteins using an applied electrical field. SDS-PAGE separates proteins by molecular weight‚ using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; also known as lauryl sulfate) to denature them and a discontinuous polyacrylamide gel as a sieving matrix. The net charges of folded proteins are not dependent upon molecular weight. Rather‚ charge is determined by

Psychiatric Association‚ 1994). Although an individual must show impairment in all three autistic ‘domains’ to receive a diagnosis of autism‚ there is considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in this population. This variability has led to the claim that the diagnostic classification of autism incorporates a number of subtypes (Fein et al.‚ 1999; TagerFlusberg & Joseph‚ 2003). It is difficult to know which treatment components directly affected language use. Contingent verbal imitation (Gazdag & Warren‚ 2000)
