Phenylacetylglutamine may predict parasitemia in Africans before PfSPZ DVI. Confirmation of the identity of phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) with the analysis of a sample composed of pooled urine samples collected from TBS negative Africans at Day-1 before PfSPZ DVI (Blank urine), the same urine sample spiked with PAG (Spiked urine) and a neat standard of PAG (PAG standard). (A) Extracted ion chromatogram, (B) MS spectrum and (C) MS/MS fragmentation spectrum, of PAG in blank urine, spiked urine and PAG standard. The retention times, as well as MS and MS/MS spectra of PAG overlap in the different samples injected, confirming the identity of PAG (confidence level 1 in the metabolite identification). Experimental conditions: see main text.
