A second M protein was considered distinct from the primary M protein if it differed in heavy chain (HC) or light chain (LC), or if it shared the same isotype but had a different molecular mass (m/z). Samples w
Furthermore, we will discuss the current challenges and future directions of M proteins detection by mass spectrometry. 2. MRD detection method MRD detection can be conducted by detecting residual tumor cells or M proteins. In recent years, since the molecular and immunological technique has been ...
Adjust the baseline of the eight spectra stored in Y_lo_res by using msbackadj. Get YB = msbackadj(MZ_lo_res,Y_lo_res); Convert the raw mass spectrometry data to a peak list by finding the relevant peaks in each spectrum. Get Peaklist = mspeaks(MZ_lo_res,YB); ...
The chemical properties of the trap column and the analytical column were fine-tuned to obtain practical sample loading capacities (above 2 μg), an earlier bottleneck of OTLC. Using the OTLC system (combined with Orbitrap mass spectrometry), we could perform targeted metabolomics of sub-μg...
Peaks with mass approaching the predicted masses of clausin (2107.86 Da; m/z 1054.94) and epi- dermin (2164.01 Da; m/z 722.34) were identified upon ESI–MS analysis of cleaved and extracted fusion peptides (Fig. 10A, B, Table 1). Variants with different dehydra- ...
Our data suggest a context-specific vulnerability in H3.1K27M-mutant SHH-dependent ventral OPCs, which rely on acquisition of ACVR1 mutations to drive aberrant BMP signaling required for oncogenesis. The unifying action of K27M mutations is to restrict H3K27me3 at PRC2 landing sites, ...
The chromatogram in Figure 2 shows the separation of Chinese Panax ginseng using two coupled 2.1 x 150 mm 1.7 µm ACQUITY BEH C18 Columns. The columns were maintained at 90 °C and eluted with a 5 to 95% aqueous formic acid/acetonitrile gradient. The resulting chromatogram produced pe...
For spectra with newly emerged peaks, a library search was conducted using the WITec TrueMatch 5.2 software. We searched the range of 200 to 4000 cm− 1 after a shape background subtraction was applied (subtract shape size: 200). The hit quality index (HQI) was then calculated as ...
These peaks are partially tryptic and non-tryptic peptides, as identified in a subsequent database search against light and heavy chain sequences without enzyme specificity. The identified partially/non-tryptic peptides are presented in Table 2 and shown in Figure 1. The second search suggests ...
(Figures S2A and S2B). A total of 179 of these peaks (33%) reproducibly differed between G1and SG2M cells by at least 5% in one or more mass isotopomer (MI) fractions (Figure 2B); a complete list is provided inTable S1. For example, metabolites of thepentose phosphate pathway(PPP...
