Global analysis of circulating immune cells by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

BACKGROUND: MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is currently used in microbiological diagnosis to characterize bacterial populations. Our aim was to determine whether this technique could be applied to intact eukaryotic cells, and in particular, to cells involved in the immune response. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPA...
