  • Patent number: 11619635
    Abstract: Antibody-free processes are disclosed that provide accurate quantification of a wide variety of low-abundance target analytes in complex samples. The processes can employ high-pressure, high-resolution chromatographic separations for analyte enrichment. Intelligent selection of target fractions may be performed via on-line Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) or off-line rapid screening of internal standards. Quantification may be performed on individual or multiplexed fractions. Applications include analyses of, e.g., very low abundance proteins or candidate biomarkers in plasma, cell, or tissue samples without the need for affinity-specific reagents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2023
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: Tujin Shi, Weijun Qian, Thomas L. Fillmore, Xuefei Sun, Richard D. Smith
