Abstract
Over the past decade, mass spectrometry-based proteomics has enabled an in-depth characterization of biological systems across a broad array of applications. The cell surface proteome ("surfaceome") in human disease is of significant interest, as plasma membrane proteins are the primary target of most clinically approved therapeutics, as well as a key feature by which to diagnostically distinguish diseased cells from healthy tissues. However, focused characterization of membrane and surface proteins of the cell has remained challenging, primarily due to the complexity of cellular lysates, which mask proteins of interest by other high-abundance proteins. To overcome this technical barrier and accurately define the cell surface proteome of various cell types using mass spectrometry proteomics, it is necessary to enrich the cell lysate for cell surface proteins prior to analysis on the mass spectrometer. This paper presents a detailed workflow for labeling cell surface proteins from cancer cells, enriching these proteins out of the cell lysate, and subsequent sample preparation for mass spectrometry analysis.
