Affinity-Enrichment Mass Spectrometry with Mass Defect Tags for Biomarker Validation
Presentation by Luke Schneider at the Cambridge Healthtech Institute's
G.O.T. Summit April 24, 2006.
Abstract
This presentation covers the
use of affinity pre-enrichment of low-abundance biomarkers prior to
mass spectrometric and capillary electrophoretic analysis. These
methods allow the detection of protein isoforms that are often
overlooked in immunoassays. The application of isotope-differentiated
binding energy shift tags (IDBEST™) allows quantitation of the relative
abundances of different isoforms between samples.
