  • Publication number: 20210080469
    Abstract: Improved methods of performing proteomic analysis are described wherein single cell samples are placed into nanowells disposed on chips that also contain a booster sample of known peptides. Once the samples are placed, these singles cells are lysed and peptides are extracted. These peptides are then labeled using TMT labels and combined with labeled boosting peptides to form a mixed sample. The mixed sample is then separated using an LC separation system and the separated sample is then passed through a mass spectrometer to acquire data of the peptide characterization data from the separated sample. Various modifications and alterations to the MS acquisition process that enhance the effectiveness of the process are also described.

  • Publication number: 20200355697
    Abstract: Provided is a method for identifying proteins capable of increasing the number of identified proteins contained in a target sample derived from blood. A protein contained in the target sample derived from blood is fragmented, and a protein contained in an having less bias in a quantity ratio of proteins than the target sample is fragmented, and the fragmented proteins are mixed (Steps S101 to S103). In this manner, the mixed sample in which the bias in a quantity ratio of proteins is less than that of the target sample is generated. By performing MS/MS measurement using the generated mixed sample (Step S107), an MS/MS spectrum of a peak derived from a protein contained in a small amount in the target sample can be prevented from being missed. Accordingly, the number of identified proteins contained in the target sample derived from blood can be increased.
