<p>An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragment in mass spectrometry, which achieves inexpensive and convenient production. As a solution to attain the object, the stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragment in mass spectrometry is produced using a method comprising the steps of: expressing a DNA conjugate in a system having a stable isotope-labeled amino acid to thereby prepare a stable isotope-labeled protein, wherein the DNA conjugate comprises: a tandemly linked DNA in which two or more DNAs encoding one or more types of target peptide fragments are linked in tandem; and a DNA encoding a peptide fragment for concentration measurement; subjecting the stable isotope-labeled protein to fragmentation treatment with trypsin to prepare a stable isotope-labeled peptide fragment for concentration measurement and stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragments; quantifying the stable isotope-labeled peptide fragment for concentration measurement using a liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS); and calculating the concentration of the stable isotope-labeled target peptide fragment of each type from the quantification value of the stable isotope-labeled peptide fragment for concentration measurement.</p> |
