Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are methods for determining the amount of thyroglobulin in a sample using various purification steps followed by mass spectrometry. The methods generally involve purifying thyroglobulin in a test sample, digesting thyroglobulin to form peptide T129, purifying peptide T129, ionizing peptide T129, detecting the amount of peptide T129 ion generated, and relating the amount of peptide T129 ion to the amount of thyroglobulin originally present in the sample.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A method for determining the amount of thyroglobulin in a test sample, comprising: (a) digesting thyroglobulin (Tg) and an added isotopically labeled thyroglobulin peptide standard in said test sample to form Tg peptides and Tg peptide standard products, wherein the Tg peptide standard has an amino acid sequence VIFDANAPVAVR (SEQ ID NO: 1 ), wherein one or more valine is isotopically labeled with 13 C, 15 N; (b) purifying said Tg peptides and Tg pe…
