Proteins of HS serum granulations and nanobacteria identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

aThe numbers shown for each protein correspond to the amount of
distinct peptides obtained for each protein which was divided by the
total amount of distinct peptides identified in the first 50
proteins found in each sample. This value was then multiplied by 100
to give an indication of the relative abundance of each protein.
bMW: molecular weight.
cSerum granulations (pellets) were obtained from untreated HS (HS-1)
or following addition of either CaCl2 (HS-2),
Na2HPO4 (HS-3), or both (HS-4) as
described in the Materials and Methods.
dHS NB was obtained from human serum as described in the Materials and Methods.
