Abstract:

In recent years, with the development of biotechnology, the study focus on tuberculosis diagnosis has shifted to serum proteomics research that can reflect the state of organism in time and identify differential proteins in the serum of tuberculosis patients, providing an important theoretical basis for early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of disease. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation and two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (iTRAQ-2DLC-MS/MS) technology is concerned and widely used by researchers because of its strong separation ability, wide analysis range, high sensitivity, high specificity, and low detection limit. This article reviews the researches on serum proteomics of tuberculosis patients based on iTRAQ-2DLC-MS/MS technology.
