Popis: Previous studies demonstrated that infrared absorption spectra of blood sera may help disease detection. For clinical translation of this approach, it is important to determine the molecular origin of disease-related spectral perturbations. To that end, we supplemented infrared spectroscopy with biochemical fractionation and proteomic profiling, which provide detailed information about blood serum composition. We built a model to describe serum absorption based on the concentrations of the highly-abundant proteins and applied this framework to lung cancer detection. We find that it is the levels of acute-phase proteins that change most in the presence of the disease and generate its infrared signature. These findings inform future clinical trials and establish a framework that could be applied to probing of any disease.
