Gluten proteins are storage proteins in wheat that exhibit a certain resistance to gastrointestinal digestion. To explore solutions to cope with accidental ingestion of gluten in individuals suffering from gluten-related disorders, it is essential to monitor the fate of gluten peptides in biological samples, i.e., gastrointestinal juices, blood plasma or urine. In this work, we aimed at developing a mass spectrometry (MS)-based method for measuring gluten peptides in human duodenal fluids. Seven gluten peptides, including the well-documented 33-mer gluten peptide (LQLQPFPQPQLPYPQPQLPYPQPQLPYPQPQPF), were selected after a literature review and characterization of a gluten-containing product. Isotopically labelled peptides were used as references and a targeted liquid chromatography (LC) MS assay based on high resolution parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) was designed. Despite iterative and fine tuning of the LC-PRM-MS method, the low level of endogenous gluten peptides in human duodenal fluid samples precluded their direct detection. Thus, an initial immunoprecipitation (IP) step was included. Several antibodies were tested, and one proved reliable for the enrichment of the 33-mer gluten peptide as well as a few additional gluten peptides. Figures-of-merits of the immuno-LC-PRM-MS assay were assessed with a focus on quantification trueness and precision. We have developed an MS-based method for measuring the 33-mer gluten peptide in human duodenal fluids. Based on isotopic dilution, the method relies on the combination of IP and LC-PRM-MS analysis. Measurements were shown to be sensitive, quantitative, and reproducible. A method capable of measuring the 33-mer gluten peptide in human duodenal fluids relies on the combination of peptide enrichment using specific antibody and peptide detection using sensitive high-resolution MS/MS (PRM acquisition mode).
