The proteomic composition of a biological sample serves as the most important feature of a biological object, and it allows discriminating normal and pathological conditions. Targeted mass spectrometric analysis, namely, multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using synthetic isotopically-labeled internal standard (SIS), is the main alternative to the ELISA method for the analysis of diagnostically significant proteins. Based on the MRM results, a prototype test system has been developed; it employs the targeted mass spectrometric method for multiplex, quantitative analysis of FDA-verified proteins in whole blood plasma. Using this approach, it was possible to measure the content of 42 proteins in 31 samples in a concentration range spanning five orders of magnitude. The interindividual variability for 30 of the 42 registered proteins was less than 40%. The largest scatter was observed for haptoglobin (68%), immunoglobulin heavy constant delta IGHD (90%), angiotensin (72%), sex hormone-binding globulin SHBG (100%) and lipoprotein-(a) (136%). The obtained results on the concentration of proteins correlate with published data (Hortin et al., 2008, Clinical Chemistry, 54, 1608) with R²=0.84. The developed prototype test system based on targeted mass spectrometric analysis of proteins can be considered as an alternative to methods using monoclonal antibodies.
