Primary mouse hepatocytes for systems biology approaches: a standardized in vitro system for modelling of signal transduction pathways. IEE Proc Syst Biol 153 (2006) 433-447. By standardization of protocols and materials the authors present how quantitative data generation is reproducibly achieved studying primary hepatocytes.

Computational processing and error reduction strategies for standardized quantitative data in biological networks. FEBS J 272 (2005) 6400-6411. The authors identify steps in quantitative immunoblotting most prone to errors. They present a combination of experimental and software-based approaches to significantly improve the quality of quantitative data based on a criteria-based normalization method.

The authors review affinity-based, physical and enzymatic assays available to study how signals within protein networks change in space and time. They discuss methods for the transformation of raw data from different techniques into systematic sets of data.
