摘要:
Tryptophan degradation is a key metabolic pathway controlling immune reactions and evidence suggests that during cancer progression generation of tryptophan metabolites may be fundamental for immune escape promoting the malignant phenotype of cancer cells in an autocrine fashion. The present invention relates to methods of measuring mass tag labelled tryptophan and metabolites thereof and methods using the labelled molecules for monitoring in a subject the effectiveness of a treatment and of disease recurrence after treatment, for stratifying patients and for diagnosing suppression of an immune response in a subject.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a set of two or more mass labels. Each mass label comprises: X-L-M-Re; X is a reporter moiety having exact mass; L is a bond cleavable by collision in a mass spectrometer; M is a mass modifier; Re is a) a reactive functionality for attaching the mass label to an analyte or b) the analyte. Each mass label in the set has the same integer mass; wherein the set comprises two or more subsets of mass labels, each subset comprising one or more mass labels; wherein, when the subset comprises two or more mass labels, the exact mass of the reporter moiety X of each mass label in the subset is different from the exact mass of the reporter moiety X of the mass labels in the same subset and in all other subsets; each mass label is distinguishable by mass spectrometry.

Provided herein are sets of mass labels. Each mass label in a set includes 1) a mass marker moiety; 2) a mass normalisation moiety; and 3) a cleavable linker connecting the mass marker moiety to the mass normalisation moiety. Each mass marker moiety is characterised as having a mass different from that of all other mass marker moieties in the set as determined by mass spectrometry. Further, each mass normalisation moiety ensures that each mass label in the set has substantially the same mass as determined by mass spectrometry.
