Super-SILAC mix for quantitative proteomics of human tumor tissue

Nat Methods. 2010 May;7(5):383-5. doi: 10.1038/nmeth.1446. Epub 2010 Apr 4.

Abstract

We describe a method to accurately quantify human tumor proteomes by combining a mixture of five stable-isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)-labeled cell lines with human carcinoma tissue. This generated hundreds of thousands of isotopically labeled peptides in appropriate amounts to serve as internal standards for mass spectrometry-based analysis. By decoupling the labeling from the measurement, this super-SILAC method broadens the scope of SILAC-based proteomics.
