Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a powerful tool that allows the characterization of MHC-associated peptidomes. In addition to conventional nonmodified peptides, these complex mixtures also contain phosphorylated species, which may be of great interest for personalized cancer immunotherapy. Here, we provide a detailed protocol to identify phosphopeptides displayed by human HLA class I molecules consisting of four main steps: (1) immunopurification of MHC-I molecules, (2) phosphopeptide enrichment, (3) LC-MS/MS analysis, and (4) MS/MS ion search.
液相色谱串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)是一种强大的工具,可用于鉴定 MHC 相关肽组。除了常规的非修饰肽外,这些复杂的混合物还包含磷酸化物质,这对于个性化癌症免疫治疗可能非常重要。在这里,我们提供了一个详细的方案,用于鉴定由人 HLA Ⅰ类分子展示的磷酸肽,该方案包括四个主要步骤:(1)MHC-I 分子的免疫纯化,(2)磷酸肽富集,(3)LC-MS/MS 分析,和(4)MS/MS 离子搜索。
