摘要:
The current disclosure provides for specific peptides, and derived ionization characteristics of the peptides, from the ALK, Ros, Ron, Ret, TS, and/or FGFR1 proteins that are particularly advantageous for quantifying the ALK, Ros, Ron, Ret, TS, and/or FGFR1 proteins directly in biological samples that have been fixed in formalin by the methods of Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry, or as Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry. Such biological samples are chemically preserved and fixed wherein the biological sample is selected from tissues and cells treated with formaldehyde containing agents/fixatives including formalin-fixed tissue/cells, formalin-fixed/paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue/cells, FFPE tissue blocks and cells from those blocks, and tissue culture cells that have been formalin fixed and or paraffin embedded. A protein sample is prepared from the biological sample using the Liquid Tissue™ reagents and protocol and the ALK, Ros, Ron, Ret, TS, and/or FGFR1 proteins are quantitated in the Liquid Tissue™ sample by the method of SRM/MRM mass spectrometry, by quantitating in the protein sample at least one or more of the peptides described. These peptides can be quantitated if they reside in a modified or an unmodified form. An example of a modified form of an ALK, Ros, Ron, Ret, TS, and/or FGFR1 fragment peptide is phosphorylation of a tyrosine, threonine, serine, and/or other amino acid residues within the peptide sequence.
