...eaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) assay. Five proteins were selected for serum measurement by immunoassay in 20 healthy volunteers, with blood drawn at baseline and 12h after 4 mg oral dexamethasone. Paired analysis of the discovery proteomics data (576 and 280 proteins for the 4h and 24h secretomes, respectively) generated a shortlist of candidates which were qualified using MRM-MS to obtain protein level intensity data for 39 proteins. In the validation cohort, 3/5 proteins were dexamethasone-responsive, two significantly decreased: lysozyme C (mean±SEM) – 101±5.5 vs 67±4.4 ng/...
