LC—MS/MS analysis after electrospray ionization [43]. Identification of the protein components of the amyloid deposits was afforded by sequence analysis of tryptic peptides. Because the assay is theoretically able to identify all known amyloid subt)yies, it can potentially replace dozens of specific IHC tests with a single assay that is sensitive, specific, and cost effective. While this is the only published clinical LC—MS/MS tissue proteomic assay currently offered for use in patients, this approach will likely be applicable to other problems in tissue diagnostics. 

The versatility of plasma-based treatments allows the design of special function-oriented surfaces for medical devices, which are presented next. An overview of the plasma-based thin films and surface treatments is included for a number of applications ranging from the improvement of mechanical properties and the modification of the surface chemistry of materials to regulate the interaction with living tissues, diagnostics, and drug delivery.
