Abstract:
Microneedles have been demonstrated to be a minimally invasive technique for sampling dermal interstitial fluid (ISF). Shotgun quantitative proteomics has already identified hundreds of proteins in ISF and quantitatively compared the proteome to matching serum and plasma. Interstitial fluid was determined to be a viable minimally invasive alternative to blood-derived fluids. In this communication, we re-examined the proteomic data from previous work to determine the diversity of immunoglobulins present compared with serum and plasma. Similar to our previous findings regarding the proteomic content across fluid types, ISF had a similar composition of IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE antibodies as plasma or serum and lower quantities of IgM, which reflects the relative concentrations of dermal tissue T-cell and B-cell populations, indicating that the Ig's were likely locally derived. This work has significant implications for the utility of measuring Ig's in ISF for the clinical diagnosis of immunological diseases and skin infections. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD012658.
