    摘要: The present invention relates to assays for monitoring and measuring the binding of a drug of interest to a receptor. In this assay, a blood sample collected from a subject dosed with the compound of interest is incubated with a lysis solution containing a quencher. The drug bound and quencher bound receptor is then isolated from the lysed blood sample. The isolated drug bound and quencher bound receptor is digested to generate surrogate drug bound and quencher bound peptides. The amount of surrogate peptides is determined. Receptor occupancy can be determined by comparing the amount of drug bound surrogate peptide to the total of drug bound and quencher bound surrogate peptide.

    摘要: The field of this invention relates to immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) for the targeted detection and mapping of biomolecules (e.g., proteins and miRNAs) in tissues or cells for example, for research use and for clinical use such by pathologists (e.g., biomarker analyses of a resected tumor or tumor biopsy). In particular, the use of mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) as a mode to detect and map the biomolecules in tissues or cells for example. More specifically, the field of this invention relates to photocleavable mass-tag reagents which are attached to probes such as antibodies and nucleic acids and used to achieve multiplex immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, with MSI as the mode of detection/readout. Probe types other than antibodies and nucleic acids are also covered in the field of invention, including but not limited to carbohydrate-binding proteins (e.g., lectins), receptors and ligands. Finally, the field of the invention also encompasses multi-omic MSI procedures, where MSI of photocleavable mass-tag probes is combined with other modes of MSI, such as direct label-free MSI of endogenous biomolecules from the biospecimen (e.g., tissue), whereby said biomolecules can be intact or digested (e.g., chemically digested or by enzyme).

    摘要: A method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of Abony and Pakistan which are two serotypes of Salmonella bacteria is contained in a sample which contains either Abony or Pakistan, based on the presence or absence of a peak (or peaks) at a predetermined mass-to-charge ratio (or ratios) in a mass spectrum obtained by a mass spectrometric analysis of the sample, or a method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of Minnesota, Infantis and Brandenburg which are three serotypes of Salmonella bacteria is contained in a sample which contains Minnesota, Infantis or Brandenburg, based on the presence or absence of a peak (or peaks) at a predetermined mass-to-charge ratio (or ratios) in a mass spectrum obtained by a mass spectrometric analysis of the sample, or a method for analyzing a microorganism including an identification step for determining which of Schwarzengrund and Montevideo which are two serotypes of Salmonella bacteria is contained in a sample which contains either Schwarzengrund or Montevideo, based on the presence or absence of a peak (or peaks) at a predetermined mass-to-charge ratio (or ratios) in a mass spectrum obtained by a mass spectrometric analysis of the sample.
