Two dimensional proteomic analysis of serum shows immunological proteins exclusively expressed in sulfur mustard exposed patients with long term pulmonary complications

Despite more than 30 years after utilization of sulfur mustard or bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (SM) by Iraqi troops against Iranian military members and civilians, there are a lot of reported delayed complications for the exposed people. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanism of action from this chemical warfare agent is not recognized yet. In this study, we employed two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) technique to investigate the serum...
