A cancer immunoprofiling strategy using mass spectrometry coupled with bioorthogonal cleavage.

The accurate quantification of biomarkers is paramount in modern medicine, particularly in cancer where precise diagnosis is imperative for targeted therapy selection. In this paper we described a multiplexed analysis diagnostic approach based on cleavable MS-tagged antibodies. The technology uses MS-tag isotopologues and the sydnonimine-cyclooctyne click-and-release bioorthogonal reaction. In a proof of concept study, we demonstrated the potential of this approach for cancer cell immunoprofiling in culture cells, tissues and as well, thereby unveiling promising diagnostic avenues.
