Popis: An enzymatic hydrolysis isotope dilution-mass spectrometric method was developed for reference quantification of specific proteins. The analytical procedure involved measuring a reproducibly hydrolyzed peptide (serving as the primary standard) unique to a specific protein. This new mass spectrometric method was evaluated by assessing the concentration of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I in the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) lyophilized Certified Reference Material (CRM 393). We used the method to make 96 measurements (4 replicate analyses of 4 enzymatic digests of 6 vials of BCR-CRM 393), which gave an average total protein mass of 1.048 mg (+/- 1.0% at 99% confidence limits). The total overall analytical CV was 3.95%. The results of this evaluation of our model approach to determine the concentration of a specific protein in a purified preparation demonstrated that our new mass spectrometric method can be used to measure apolipoproteins and other specific proteins without the use of epitopic immunoassay methods.
