In the field of proteomics extensive efforts have been focused on the knowledge of proteins expressed by different cell types. In particular, enormous progress has been done in the characterization of blood cellular components. In this work, we have established a public 2-DE database for human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) proteins. Two hundred and forty-six spots corresponding to 174 different proteins have been identified on 2-DE gels from PBMCs isolated from six healthy individuals. All the identified proteins have been classified in thirteen categories on the basis of their differential functions or cellular localization and annotated at the http://physiology.unile.it/proteomics. The role of several proteins has been discussed in relation to their biological function. We intend to show the potentiality of PBMCs to investigate the proteomics changes possibly associated with a large number of pathologies such as autoimmune, neurodegenerative and cancer diseases.
