SRM METHODS IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE ASSAYS
Provided herein are methods for developing selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC-SRM-MS) assays.
1 . A multiplexed LC-SRM-MS assay for the measurement of a plurality of proteins in a single sample comprising:
a) generating a set of optimal peptides and corresponding transitions for each pro-tein monitored;
b) optimizing the collision energy for each transition such that interference among the transitions monitored is avoided;
c) selecting a set of transitions that have the greatest peak areas are monitored for each of the proteins, and wherein the selected transitions do not interfere with the ions in the sample;
d) monitoring the detected set of transitions for each protein in the sample, thereby measuring a plurality of proteins in the sample.
