Spiking recovery in human seruma

Peptide concentration, ng/mL Peptide serum + peptide concentration, ng/mL Peptide recovered, ng/mL Recovery, %
31.1 145.3 31.1 103.5
13.4 135.3 13.3 110.4
7.6 125.7 7.6 107.6
4.7 121.6 4.7 106.7
0 109.2 0 100

aPeptide sample = native type IV collagen cleaved by matrix metalloproteinase 9 and pepsin. Recovery percentages are peptide concentrations compared to peptide measured in serum after subtracting the serum background.
