In this study, the efficiency of one commercial (ProteoMiner™ -PM) and five simple and cost-effective laboratory chemicals (Acetone, TCA/acetone, DTT, ACN and DTT-ACN) based serum protein pre-fractionation strategies was compared in pig model by label-free quantitation based mass spectrometric approach to find out the most suitable strategy for reducing the complexity of serum proteome for subsequent proteomic studies. The highest serum protein depletion percentage and highest depletion of albumin, the most abundant serum protein, was observed in DTT-ACN method. The maximum number of serum proteins was identified in ACN followed by DTT-ACN method and importantly, detection of more number of low-abundant proteins (LAPs) could also be achieved by these two methods. Although PM method resulted into lowest dynamic range of protein abundance, quite a less number of proteins were identified by this method. Overall, sequential depletion using DTT-ACN and ACN methods provided advantage of simultaneous detection of more number of proteins along with LAPs with a reasonably high dynamic range of protein abundances over other methods and thus emerged as cheaper and effective alternatives to the commercial methods. Further, these methods are species-independent and hence can be applied in human and in any livestock species to simplify the serum proteome.
