摘要:
Methods are provided for quantifying the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A protein (p16) p16 protein directly in biological samples that have been fixed in formalin by SRM/MRM mass spectrometry. A protein sample is prepared from the biological sample using, for example, the Liquid Tissue reagents and protocol and the p16 protein is quantitated in the resulting sample by quantitating in the protein sample at least one fragment peptide from p16. Peptides can be quantitated in modified or unmodified form. An example of a modified form of a p16 peptide is phosphorylation of a tyrosine, threonine, serine, and/or other amino acid residues within the peptide sequence.

These peptides can be quantitated if they reside in a modified or an unmodified form. An example of a modified form of a KRT5, KRT7, NapsinA, TTF1, TP63, and MUC1 fragment peptide is phosphorylation of a tyrosine, threonine, serine, and/or other amino acid residues within the peptide sequence.

The current invention provides a method for directly converting histopathologically processed biological samples, tissues, and cells into a multi-use biomolecule lysate. This method allows for simultaneous extraction, isolation, solublization, and storage of all biomolecules contained within the histopathologically processed biological sample, thereby forming a representative library of said sample. This multi-use biomolecule lysate is dilutable, soluble, capable of being fractionated, and used in any number of subsequent experiments.
摘要:
Objective quantitation of the c-Src protein directly in cancer patient tissue can aid in determining the aggressiveness of an individual patient's tumor as well as help make more informed decisions about choice of therapy. However, the c-Src protein is currently analyzed directly in formalin fixed patient tissue only by immunohistochemistry methodology which is at best subjectively semi-quantitative. This invention describes an objective quantitative assay for the c-Src protein using mass spectrometry as the analytical methodology. Specific peptides, experimentally discovered characteristics about the peptides, and experimentally established assay conditions based on those peptide characteristics are provided for use in a mass spectrometry-based Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) assay in order to measure relative or absolute quantitative levels of c-Src directly in a protein preparation obtained from a formalin fixed cancer patient tissue sample.
