	abstract = {Quantitative two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has  
been used to search for variation among liver proteins in flocks of sheep 
which had been selected for either resistance or susceptibility to sporidesmin- 
induced liver damage.  The goal was identification of proteins whose DNA 
sequences might be used to select animals for resistance to facial eczema.  
The quantitative gel techniques were used because of their ability to detect  
variability among many proteins in a single tissue sample.  Differences in  
relative proportion were tested for 62 proteins among 5 ewes from each of the  
resistant and susceptible flocks.  There were 7 proteins which showed  
statistically significant differences (P<0.05) between the flocks.  When an  
analysis was made of changes in the relative proportions of proteins 2 days  
after experimental challenge of resistant flock ewes (n=8) with sporidesmin,  
0.13 mg per kg body weight, 25 of 79 liver proteins showed significant change  
(P<0.05).  This included partial loss of a 25 kDa, pI 5.7, protein which was 
also three times more abundant in undosed susceptible than undosed resistant  
females.  These results are discussed in terms of the possible relationships  
between protein variation and the magnitude of toxic tissue damage. },
