Isoform-specific Protein Quantification

pipettes.png

Protein isoforms are difficult to distinguish using commercially available antibodies.

By detecting isoform-specific unique peptides, mass spectrometry enables differentiation between wild type, mutants and splice variants without the need for isoform-specific antibodies.

​

We offer in-house developed comprehensive data analysis workflows for isoform-specific protein detection. Combined with a well designed QconCAT reference standard, the analysis can be expanded to provide you with quantitative data for highly similar protein isoforms.

Isoform-specific protein quantification

Workflow

  • Peptide selection and production of QconCAT reference standard

  • Sample preparation

  • Mix QconCAT and sample

  • Trypsin digestion

  • Mass spectrometry analysis

  • Data analysis and reporting

Workflow for isoform specific protein detection

Workflow for isoform-specific protein quantification using LC-MS/MS and QconCATs.
A sample containing proteins of interest is digested with an appropriate protease. After LC separation, the peptides are detected using high resolution mass spectrometry. Quantities of the target proteins are calculated based on the signal detected for the isotope-labeled reference peptides.

Example

 

Absolute quantification of protein expression of a wild type protein (WT) and isoforms (V1, V2) at different time points after treatment of the host organism.
