摘要:
A method for preparing peptide fragments by cleaving a protein using a protease. The method according to the present invention comprises a step for contacting, in a liquid, a porous body (20), in which the substrate protein (25) to be cleaved is immobilized in pores (29), with microparticles (10) which carry the protease (15) immobilized on the surface thereof. In the present invention, the average particle diameter of the microparticles (10) is larger than the average pore diameter of the porous body (20). According to the method of the present invention, the substrate protein (25) that is an antibody can be site-specifically cleaved. By analyzing the peptide fragments that are obtained by the above method by mass spectrometry, etc., the antibody protein can be detected or quantitatively analyzed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting particulate substances with a high degree of sensitivity, while suppressing the generation of non-specific signals. According to the present invention, the generation of non-specific signals in the background can be suppressed by blocking a membrane of a test strip which is used for immunochromatography with a blocking composition comprising a polymer-based blocking agent having, in its side chain, a substituent represented by the following formula:
(wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a C 1-6 alkyl group, or a C 1-6 hydroxyalkyl group; and n is an integer of 1 to 4), and having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 1 × 10 3 to 1 × 10 7 .

Provided is a method for identifying proteins capable of increasing the number of identified proteins contained in a target sample derived from blood. A protein contained in the target sample derived from blood is fragmented, and a protein contained in an having less bias in a quantity ratio of proteins than the target sample is fragmented, and the fragmented proteins are mixed (Steps S101 to S103). In this manner, the mixed sample in which the bias in a quantity ratio of proteins is less than that of the target sample is generated. By performing MS/MS measurement using the generated mixed sample (Step S107), an MS/MS spectrum of a peak derived from a protein contained in a small amount in the target sample can be prevented from being missed. Accordingly, the number of identified proteins contained in the target sample derived from blood can be increased.
