Proteotyping of knockout mouse strains reveals sex- and strain-specific signatures in blood plasma

Abstract We proteotyped blood plasma from 30 mouse knockout strains and corresponding wild-type mice from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium. We used targeted proteomics with internal standards to quantify 375 proteins in 218 samples. Our results provide insights into the manifested effe...
