Increased Concentrations of Apo A-I and Apo A-II Fragments in the Serum of Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Magnetic Beads–Assisted MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

MALDI-TOF MS analysis revealed that apo A-I is a potential novel serum marker of HCC. Combination of these pretreatments and the current magnet bead-assisted MALDI-TOF MS will further enhance the efficiency of biomarker discovery for HCC.
