| Abstract | Currently, there is a lack of a sensitive and reliable premortem diagnostic test for prion diseases. Here we examine mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods to search for protein biomarkers of prion diseases from plasma samples. Dynamic range of detection is increased by glycoprotein enrichment and multidimensional separations. By utilizing isotopic labeling, quantitative information of a panel of biomarker candidates is obtained. |
