Analysis of phospholipids on Gold Nanoparticles by Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry (CAT#: STEM-ST-0343-LJX)

Introduction

High-throughput and sensitive detection of proteins are essential for clinical diagnostics and biomarker discovery. We develop a novel high-throughput, multiplexed, sensitive mass spectrometric (MS) immunoassay method, which utilizes antibody-modified phospholipid bilayer coated gold nanoparticles (PBL-AuNPs) as the detection label and antibody-immobilized magnetic beads as the capture reagent. This method enables magnetic enrichment of the PBL-AuNPs label specific to target protein, allowing sensitive surface enhanced laser desorption ionization (SELDI)-TOF MS detection of the protein via its specific label. AuNPs act as not only the support but also the matrix for the phospholipids in SELDI TOF MS detection. Moreover, with phospholipids with varying molecular weights as the encoded MS reporters, this method allows multiplexed detection of multiple proteins.

Principle

The surface enhanced laser desorption ionization technique belongs to laser desorption mass spectrometry (LDMS). It is different from ordinary LDMS in that the laser is not directly hit on the sample to desorption, but the sample is suspended in the matrix, the laser is hit on the matrix, the matrix absorbs and transmits the laser energy, so that the sample in the matrix desorption out. After desorption and ionization, the samples were examined in a time-flight mass spectrometer.

Applications

For protein analysis and measurement of molecular weight of complete proteins
For the diagnosis of a variety of diseases, especially cancer

Procedure

1. The surface of the protein chip is treated in a certain chemical or biochemical way (surface enhancement), so that it has the ability to bind specifically to a certain type of protein
2. The serum or protein extract is directly added to the surface of the chip, and the chip is washed after incubation. Specific proteins bind to the chip and are thus separated from the protein mixture
3. The chip then uses a "chip reader" (a kind of SELDI-TOF-MS) to obtain a mass spectrum of the protein bound to the chip
4. The SELDI protein chip system can be used to compare changes in the protein profile of any set of control samples or different disease states to identify biomarkers or disease-related targets
