ABSTRACT
Mucins MUC5AC and MUC5B are large glycoproteins that play an essential role in the innate defense of epithelial surfaces and their quantitation in biological samples would be informative about the health status of the tissue/samples they are derived from. However, they are difficult to study and quantify with traditional methods such as ELISA and western blot, due to their size, heterogeneity, and high degree of glycosylation. We successfully implemented a stable isotope labeling mass spectrometry approach for absolute quantification of mucin macromolecules. Here, in detail, we describe this accurate and sensitive liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method applied for both MUC5AC and MUC5B quantification in diverse and complex biological samples.
