The instant invention provides an economical flow-through method for determining amount of target proteins in a sample. An antibody preparation (whether polyclonal or monoclonal, or any equivalent specific binding agent) is used to capture and thus enrich a specific monitor peptide (a specific peptide fragment of a protein to be quantitated in a proteolytic digest of a complex protein sample) and an internal standard peptide (the same chemical structure but including stable isotope labels). Upon elution into a suitable mass spectrometer, the natural (sample derived) and internal standard (isotope labeled) peptides are quantitated, and their measured abundance ratio used to calculate the abundance of the monitor peptide, and its parent protein, in the initial sample

Improved HLA epitope prediction

Adaptive immune responses rely on the ability of cytotoxic T cells to identify and eliminate cells displaying disease-specific antigens on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules. Investigations into antigen processing and display have immense implications in human health, disease and therapy. To extend understanding of the rules governing antigen processing and presentation, immunopurified peptides from B cells, each expressing a single HLA class I allele, were profiled using accurate mass, high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS). A resource dataset containing thousands of peptides bound to 28 distinct class I HLA-A, -B, and -C alleles was generated by implementing a novel allele-specific database search strategy. Applicants discovered new binding motifs, established the role of gene expression in peptide presentation and improved prediction of HLA-peptide binding by using these data to train machine-learning models. These streamlined experimental and analytic workflows enable direct identification and analysis of endogenously processed and presented antigens.

Mass spectrometric rapid detection of salmonella

The invention relates to the detection of specified, flagellated bacteria, particularly Salmonella, in food and stool. A single culturing period of about 12 to 24 hours in a liquid nutrient medium without agitation is combined with a position-selective sampling of the flagellated microbes from the liquid of the culture, after which a mass spectrometric detection method is used which recognizes the target bacteria in mixtures. A second culture step is only necessary in exceptional cases. A species-selective or genus-selective culture medium is advantageous. Positional selection becomes possible because these bacteria use their flagella to counteract sedimentation by chemotaxis, and they collect near the surface. This provides a low-cost detection method that is several days faster than conventional methods
