Table 1.

Target peptides employed for the quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. Housekeeping proteins glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and actin (A) were also quantified to allow normalization for the number of mammalian cells that were processed. All peptides were 13C15N isotopically labeled on the C-terminal lysine or arginine and are indicated in bold font and underlined. M/z = mass/charge.
