Popis: The development of proteomic methods, especially mass spectrometry, has brought new possibilities to tumor marker research. Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), a common known biomarker for various malignancies, occurs on genetic variants that we are able to detect at the protein level with proteomic techniques using immunoaffinity capture prior to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). We also show that PSTI can be detected in urine from cancer patients using a two-step peptide enrichment technique and LC-MS. These results show that tumor-associated peptides can be detected in urine by proteomic techniques.
