| Research Abstract |
A novel chemical treatment technique for mass spectrometry using formaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded specimen of human cancer tissue was developed. By this technique including swelling process and heating under high pressure in a reaction solution containing acetonitrile, peptide ionization was significantly enhanced. As a result, detection sensitivity for Matrix-assisted laser ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was augmented more than 100-fold. We were successful in identification of a tumor marker H2A protein in cancer tissue in comparison with the normal tissue.
