  • Patent number: 11365214
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the treatment of body fluid proteins, by which proteins from body fluids such as blood or urine are extracted by adding a certain proportion of high molecular polymer solution under low temperature condition followed by denaturation and reduction by adding a certain concentration of surfactant and tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP) under a high temperature condition. Subsequently, the iodoacetic acid brushes grafted on silica microspheres called as solid-phase alkylation reagents are added into protein solution, which can react rapidly with the protein sulfhydryl group. After centrifugation, the microspheres are obtained and repeatedly washed with methanol and buffer to remove interferences such as sugars, salts, surfactants, lipids to obtain high-purity proteins, and finally protease is added to digest proteins into peptides. After centrifugation, the peptide products are obtained, and directly analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system.

  • Publication number: 20190317059
    Abstract: An integrated system has functions of high-abundance protein depletion, on-line denaturation and reduction of middle and low-abundance proteins, desalting and protein digestion. This system includes an antibody column for the depletion of high-abundance protein from body fluids, clustering hollow fiber membranes based high temperature denaturator and reducer, solvent exchanger and immobilized enzymatic reactor. The protein sample from body fluid is firstly treated by antibody column to remove the high-abundance proteins, and then the eluted medium-low abundance protein is subjected to on-line, rapid denaturation and reduction by a high-temperature denaturator and reducer, subsequently the denaturing and the reducing agents in proteins are removed by a solvent exchanger, finally the purified proteins were enzymatically hydrolyzed by an immobilized enzymatic reactor. The peptides produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis can be analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS).
