Abstract
A method for the identification and localization of proteins or other biomolecules of a histologic tissue section comprises enzymatically digesting the biomolecules of two similar tissue sections while substantially preserving the biomolecule positions in the tissue sections. Next, a mass spectrometric image of the digest products in one of the tissue sections is acquired. Then, the digest products of the other tissue section are extracted and separated and the mass spectra and daughter ion spectra of all the digest products are acquired. A list of all identifiable biomolecules of the tissue section is created by comparing the mass spectra and daughter ion spectra with spectra in biomolecule structure databases or spectral libraries. Finally, the biomolecules in the list are assigned to digest products of the same mass in the mass spectra used to create the mass spectrometric image of the thin tissue section.
