The proteome and secretome of human oocytes was studied by shotgun LCMSMS, starting from pools of 100 cells. Exploiting SP3, a novel technology for proteomic sample preparation using magnetic beads, we scaled down proteome analysis to single cells. Despite the low protein content of only ~100ng per cell, we consistently identified ~450 proteins from individual oocytes. When comparing proteomes of individual oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) and metaphase II (MII) stage by label-free quantification, we found several proteins preferentially expressed in matuare and immature cells.
