From: Plasma peptidome profiling of acute hepatitis E patients by MALDI-TOF/TOF
Representative mass spectra showing peaks in the Linear Positive (LP) mode. The upper and lower panels show peak patterns for representative plasma samples from HEV patients and healthy controls, respectively. Peaks that are upregulated or down regulated in patients and controls in the m/z range of 1000 to 10000 are shown. The peaks are marked at their respective m/z values; numbers in bold indicate the discriminating peaks. Averaged mass spectra were generated by ClinPro Tools software (V2.0) using spectra showing the highest number of peaks and signal-to-noise ratios. All spectra were baseline-subtracted, smoothed, normalised and realigned. Insets show discriminating peaks not readily apparent at the scale of the main figure.
