Abstract:In this work, we report a facile method for a detection of mettalothionein (MT) -potential biomarker of tumor diseases. Combination of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma coupled to mass spectrometric detection (LA-ICP-MS) with sample pretreatment by magnetic particles modified by molecularly imprinted polymers (Mag-MIP) enables selective and sensitive protein detection and quantification. After Mag-MIP MT extraction, elements specific for the protein (S, Zn and Cd) were detected in healthy pig skin and … Show more
