Abstract:Background
Protein electrophoresis (PEP) is an important tool in supporting the analytical characterization of protein status in diseases related to monoclonal components, inflammation, and antibody deficiency. Here, we developed a deep learning-based PEP classification algorithm to supplement the labor-intensive PEP interpretation and enhance inter-observer reliability.
Methods
A total of 2,578 gel images and densitogram PEP images from January 2018 to July 2019 were split into training (80%), validation (1… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
