Plasma biomarker discovery necessitates a method for deep proteomic profiling, as well as for highly accurate quantification of the proteins in the sample. Furthermore, to obtain strong candidates for potential biomarkers, the method should be high throughput to enable a large scale analysis. Here we describe in detail PROMIS-Quan (PROteomics of MIcroparticles using Super-SILAC Quantification), a method for a simple and robust fractionation of the plasma samples by extraction of plasma microparticles, followed by SILAC-based relative and absolute quantification.
