BackgroundCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is typically diagnosed by detecting a protein marker {beta}2-transferrin ({beta}2-Tf) in secretion samples. {beta}2-Tf and {beta}1-transferrin ({beta}1-Tf) are glycoforms of human transferrin (Tf). A novel affinity capture technique for sample preparation, called microprobe-capture in-emitter elution (MPIE), was incorporated with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) to analyze the Tf glycoforms and elucidate the structures of {beta}1-Tf and {beta}2-T...
