In recent years, immunocapture enrichment coupled with LC-MS technology has seen more applications for the measurement of low abundant protein therapeutics and biomarkers in biological matrices. In this article, several critical considerations for the application of immunocapture enrichment to LC-MS bioanalysis of protein therapeutics and biomarkers, including reagent selection, reagent characterization, designing of capture format, etc. are discussed. All these considerations are critical in developing reliable and robust bioanalytical assays with high assay specificity and sensitivity. Successful examples using the immunocapture LC-MS approach in the quantification of biotherapeutic and low abundant protein biomarkers will also be discussed.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
