Electrospray mass spectrometry has been employed to detect and charact
erize the members of a closely related family of immunologically activ
e proteins (chemokines) produced in cell culture by stimulated fibrobl
asts. The reliability of the method to produce precise data concerning
the relative proportions of proteins present in mixtures was investig
ated in a model system and found to be satisfactory in a range of 10:1
in concentration.
