Proteomics evaluation of five economical commercial abundant protein depletion kits for enrichment of diseases-specific biomarkers from blood serum.

ABSTRACT: Blood serum is arguably the most analyzed biofluid for disease prediction and diagnosis. Herein, we benchmarked five different serum abundant protein depletion (SAPD) kits with regard to the identification of disease-specific biomarkers in human serum using bottom-up proteomics. As expected, the IgG removal efficiency among the SAPD kits is highly variable, ranging from 70% to 93%. A pairwise comparison of database search results showed a 10%-19% variation in protein identification among the kits. Immunocapturing-based SAPD kits against IgG and albumin outperformed the others in the removal of these two abundant proteins. Conversely, non-antibody-based methods (i.e., kits using ion exchange resins) and kits leveraging a multi-antibody approach were proven to be less efficient in depleting
