Quantitative target proteomics of chromosome 13 human blood plasma proteins.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of 50 blood plasma samples of healthy volunteers who underwent a comprehensive medical examination and were found eligible for space flights was performed. As a result of directed mass spectrometric analysis, signals for 128 proteins, which accounted for nearly 40% of the total number of chromosome 13 gene products, were detected. The analysis of interindividual variation of concentrations of chromosome 13 proteins showed the presence of a pool comprising 41 proteins with a low variation (CV < 30%), which can potentially be used as biomarkers.
