Proteomics. Clinical applications 2012 OctSerum and plasma from which serum is derived represent a substantial challenge for proteomics due to their complexity. A landmark plasma proteome study was initiated a decade ago by the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) that had as an objective to examine the capabilities of existing technologies. Given the advances in proteomics and the continued interest in the plasma proteome, it would timely reassess the depth and breadth of analysis of plasma that can be achieved with current methodology and instrumentation. A collaborative project to define the plasma proteome and its variation, with a plan to build a plasma proteome database would be timely. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
