Uniformly 15N-Labeled Recombinant Ricin A-chain as an Internal Retention Time Standard for Increased Confidence in Forensic Identification of Ricin by Untargeted Nanoflow Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Journal Article Merkley, Eric D. ; Burnum-Johnson, Kristin E. ; Anderson, Lindsey N. ; ... - Analytical Chemistry

Ricin, a toxic protein from the castor plant, is of forensic and biosecurity interest because of its high toxicity and common occurrence in crimes and attempted crimes. Qualitative methods to detect ricin are therefore needed. Untargeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomics methods are well-suited because of their high speci-ficity. Specificity in LC-MS/MS comes from both the LC and MS components. However, modern untargeted proteomics methods often use nanoflow LC, which has less reproducible retention times than standard-flow LC, making it challenging to use retention time as a point of identification in a forensic assay. We address this challenge bymore »« less

Mass spectral investigations on toxins. 9. Application of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques for the detection and quantification of macrocyclic trichothecenes in Brazilian plant samples. Technical report, March-July 1985

Technical Report Krishnamurthy, T ; Beck, D J ; Isensee, R K ; ...

Trichothecenes are toxic, fungal metabolites that have been associated with human health hazards, farm-product, livestock, and other animal losses for decades. Allegedly, these metabolites were also used as chemical warfare agents. Recently, the growth of trichothecene-producing fungi was detected also in U.S. urban environments. Thus, the development of rapid, specific, sensitive, and accurate methods for analyzing these toxins in environmental, agricultural, and biological samples has become vital. The large number of trichothecenes present and their polar and labile properties pose a great challenge in developing a common methodology to analyze all the derivatives of interest. Thermally labile, polar, toxic roridinsmore »« less
Evaluation of two-dimensional electrophoresis and liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry for tissue-specific protein profiling of laser-microdissected plant samples

Journal Article Schad, Martina ; Lipton, Mary S ; Giavalisco, Patrick ; ... - Electrophoresis

Laser microdissection (LM) allows the collection of homogeneous tissue- and cell specific plant samples. The employment of this technique with subsequent protein analysis has thus far not been reported for plant tissues, probably due to the difficulties associated with defining a reasonable cellular morphology and, in parallel, allowing efficient protein extraction from tissue samples. The relatively large sample amount needed for successful proteome analysis is an additional issue that complicates protein profiling on a tissue- or even cell-specific level. In contrast to transcript profiling that can be performed from very small sample amounts due to efficient amplification strategies, there ismore »« less

Detection of Acetone Processing of Castor Bean Mash for Forensic Investigation of Ricin Preparation Methods

Journal Article Kreuzer-Martin, Helen W ; Wahl, Jon H ; Metoyer, Candace N ; ... - Journal of Forensic Sciences, 55(4):908-914

The toxic protein ricin is of concern as a potential biological threat agent (BTA) Recently, several samples of ricin have been seized in connection with biocriminal activity. Analytical methods are needed that enable federal investigators to determine how the samples were prepared, to match seized samples to potential source materials, and to identify samples that may have been prepared by the same method using the same source materials. One commonly described crude ricin preparation method is acetone extraction of crushed castor beans. Here we describe the use of solid-phase microextraction and headspace analysis of crude ricin preparation samples to determinemore »« less

Small protein biomarkers of culture in Bacillus spores detected using capillary liquid chromatography coupled with matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Journal Article Wunschel, David S ; Wahl, Jon H ; Willse, Alan R ; ... - Journal of Chromatography B, 843(1):25-33

Capillary liquid chromatography (cLC) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) was used to compare small proteins and peptides extracted from Bacillus subtilis spores grown on four different media. A single, efficient protein separation, compatible with MALDI-MS analysis, was employed to reduce competitive ionization between proteins, and thus interrogate more proteins than possible using direct MALDI-MS. The MALDI-MS data files for each fraction are assembled as two dimensional data sets of retention time and mass information. This method of visualizing small protein data required careful attention to background correction as well as mass and retention time variability.more »« less
