Proteomics Information
To identify the molecular composition of peptides in the CICs, we provide services for purification of the CICs. CICs are purified using proprietary affinity Proceptor™ resin. Characterization of these peptides in the CICs provides opportunity for target identification to develop vaccines. Proceptor™ resin binds and capture both CICs composed of either IgG or IgM isotypes (see figure below and proteomics gallery). CICs can be purified from both serum and synovial fluid. The LC MS/MS spectra show that CICs purified with Proceptor™ identifies more unique antigens compared to Protein A or Protein G resins.
