摘要 |
<p>The present invention is a method for analysis of at least peptides comprising extracting proteins from at least one set of cells; digesting the extracted proteins; derivatising the protein fragment mixture with an isotopically labelled reagent molecule; separating the protein fragment mixture by multi-dimensional chromatography; and analysing the protein fragment mixture by mass spectroscopy (MS) in parent ion or neutral loss scanning mode, thereby detecting or measuring the amounts of the labelled protein fragments. In a preferred embodiment, two sets of cells are combined in the method in order to compare the expression levels of two different states. Moreover, the invention relates to a kit for use in the present labelling method.</p> |
