ABSTRACT
Proteomic biomarker discovery and analysis from human biofluids using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is an area of intense biomedical research. There is a growing interest to analyze microsampled patient blood specimens as this is potentially more patient-friendly enabling at-home and bedside self-collection of small blood volumes. However, there are limited studies applying LC-MS proteomic analysis of whole blood as it is dominated by red blood cell proteins such as hemoglobin which suppresses the detection of other less abundant proteins. Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) devices overcome this issue in part by providing a trapping matrix which allows depletion of abundant blood cell proteins through washing, prior to proteolysis and LC-MS. This approach allows the analysis of proteins from erythrocytes, leukocytes, and plasma and leads to deeper proteomic coverage compared to conventional plasma proteomics, increasing the prospects to discover novel biomarker proteins.
