Targeting a fast-forming proteotypic peptide for rapid quantification of apolipoprotein A1 in plasma by LC-MS/MS
FY 2017-18
Summary
Testing a person's blood is a way to figure out which disease they may have. There are different markers in blood that change with disease. we studied a marker in blood named apolipoprotein A1, which can be used to predict if a person at risk for a heart disease, including heart attack. The current methods to test for this blood marker are expensive and require a lot of blood. We are developing a new blood test that only needs one drop of blood and is much cheaper. A tiny amount of blood is tested following a simple and fast workflow. The new method can detect very low levels of this marker. The test results from the new method are comparable to those of the older test; however, there are many advantages to the new test, including cost-effectiveness. Such a simple test will make it practical for routine testing in hospital laboratories.
