Targeted protein quantitation by MS: strategies to achieve increased selectivity
Targeted protein quantitation by LC–MS of both endogenous and exogenous (therapeutic) proteins is an increasingly important technique in bioanalysis. In comparison to traditionally utilized immunochemical approaches, the methodology allows for a faster method development, a reduced need for specific reagents, and affords multiplexed analyses. The required selectivity against the very high biological background is commonly achieved by multiple reaction monitoring on triple quadrupole or Q-Trap instruments, however, on occasion the selectivity afforded is insufficient. This presentation will demonstrate the application of MS3, SelexIon and HR-MS to increase the selectivity in these analyses in selected case studies.
