Description
Summary:Intact-mass spectrometry has huge potential for clinical application, as it enables both quantitative and qualitative analysis of intact proteins and possibly unlocks additional pathophysiological information via, e.g., detection of specific post-translational modifications (PTMs). Such valuable and clinically useful selectivity is typically lost during conventional bottom-up mass spectrometry. We demonstrate an innovative immunoprecipitation protein enrichment assay coupled to ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-QToF-HRMS) for the fast and simple identification of the protein tumor marker Neuron Specific Enolase Gamma (NSEγ) at low endogenous concentrations in human serum. Additionally, using the combination of immunoaffinity purification with intact mass spectrometry, the presence of NSEγ in an acetylated form in human serum was detected. This highlights the unique potential of immunoaffinity intact mass spectrometry in clinical diagnostics.
