-
of the total number of genes in the human genome
-
and therefore if it's expressing these unique
-
this unique set of genes.
-
If I could find the unique set of proteins
-
that correspond to those genes
-
I could define chemically what the cell is.
-
It turns out that one of the places
-
that's been very fruitful to look for proteins
-
that differ between cell populations
-
is on the surface of the cell.
-
We talked about the cell membrane,
-
the plasma membrane separating the inside form the outside.
