Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause a subset of cases of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). We established a simple and defined method to detect the mutant SODI in erythrocytes by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) using materials precipitated with specific antiserum. Hemolysate was mixed with anti-SOD1 antiserum and the generated precipitate, which was soluble in the...
