    摘要: The present invention provides a method for detecting cancer in a simple and highly accurate manner, and a reagent that can be used in the method. According to the present invention, cancer (excluding castration-resistant prostate cancer) is detected by measuring the intact growth and differentiation factor (GDF15) propeptide level, the GDF15 propeptide fragment level, or the total of the intact GDF15 propeptide level and the GDF15 propeptide fragment level, in a sample. The above described method for detecting cancer includes a method for detecting one or more selected from the group consisting of stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and esophageal cancer, and a method for distinguishing and detecting non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Further, a reagent for detecting cancer includes an antibody that specifically recognizes GDF15 propeptide.

    摘要: A method of enhancing a mass spectral signal is disclosed. The method can include contacting a sample to a separation column under conditions that permit sample components to bind to the substrate; applying a first mobile gradient to the separation column, wherein the first mobile phase gradient comprises trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and a small molecule additive (e.g., an amino acid) or formic acid (FA) and a small molecule additive (e.g., an amino acid); applying a second mobile gradient to the separation column, wherein the second mobile phase gradient comprises TFA in acetonitrile (ACN) and a small molecule additive (e.g., an amino acid) or formic acid (FA) in ACN and a small molecule additive (e.g., an amino acid); and performing mass spectrometric analysis on eluted sample components.
