Development of a multiplex mass spectrometry method for simultaneous quantification of urinary proteins related to respiratory health

Abstract Respiratory health of children is a health priority. Club cell protein (CC16) is an interesting biomarker of lung diseases and adverse effects towards the airway epithelium integrity. Osteopontin (OPN) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) also play a role in respiratory health. The use of uri...
