46 results about "Protein species" patented technology

Proteins are species -specific; that is, the proteins of one species differ from those of another species. They are also organ -specific; for instance, within a single organism, muscle proteins differ from those of the brain and liver.

Compositions and methods for proteomic investigations

Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention provides a variety of related proteomics analytical modalities that are open-ended, rapid, convenient and suitable for implementation in a high throughput parallel assay system. Specificity-determining compositions and methods are disclosed for use in proteomics. These compositions and methods provide a protein resolved from other protein species contained in a sample fluid, in its native, biologically functional conformation. The present invention provides a specificity-determining substrate that forms a complex with a protein molecule in a homogenous fashion. The specificity-determining substrate includes a specificity-determining ligand bound to a support, wherein optionally the substrate further includes a spacer bound between the ligand and the support. In addition a complex is provided that includes a specificity-determining substrate and a protein molecule. Furthermore, an array including a plurality of loci is provided, in which each locus includes a specificity-determining substrate of the invention. These substrates, complexes and arrays may be employed in a method of resolving a first protein from a fluid including one or more species of native, biologically active protein molecules, wherein the first protein retains its native structure and its biological activity; in a method of purifying one or more first proteins from a fluid including one or more species of native, biologically active protein molecules, wherein the purified first protein retains its native structure and its biological activity; in a method of characterizing one or more proteins in a fluid including one or more species of protein molecule; and in a method of identifying one or more proteins in a sample fluid wherein the concentration of the one or more proteins in the sample fluid differs from the concentration of the one or more proteins in a reference fluid.

Mass spectrometric immunoassay analysis of specific proteins and variants present in various biological fluids

InactiveUS7396687B2Adequate quantitative dynamic range and accuracy and linearityMicrobiological testing/measurementBiological testingProtein targetMass spectrometric immunoassay
Presented herein is the construction of pipettor tips (termed MSIA-Tips) containing porous solid supports that are constructed, covalently derivatized with affinity ligand, and used to extract specific proteins and their variants from various biological fluids by repeatedly flowing the fluids through the MSIA-Tips. A second protein species (a mass-shifted variant of the targeted protein doped into the samples at a constant concentration) is co-extracted with the endogenous protein and variants and is used as a quantitative internal reference standard (IRS). Nonspecifcally bound compounds are rinsed from the MSIA-Tip using a series of buffer and water rinses, after which the wild type protein, protein variants and the IRS are eluted from the MSIA-Tips directly onto a target in preparation for analysis such as MALDI-TOF. Mass spectrometry of the eluted sample then follows with the retained proteins identified via accurate molecular mass determination. Protein and variant levels are determined via a quantitative method in which the protein / variant signals are normalized to the signal of the IRS and the values compared to a working curve constructed from samples containing known concentrations of the protein or variants.
