Ratios were calculated from the normalized spot intensities averaged for gel replicates and finally expressed as BCL- or GFP-over-Control ratios. The first block contains membrane proteins affected by over-expression with statistical significance.

^a Probability score calculated by the program taking in consideration all previous parameters. "n.a." means volume was calculated from the sum of all spot intensities belonging to the same protein (as determined by ESI-MS spot identification for multiplets), due to excessive protein amount in gels or poor focusing. ">>" indicate value was much above threshold, no ratio is reported although protein presence was determined by mass analysis.
