Protein from Panax ginseng can improve learning, memory, and analgesia. Here, we investigated a fluorescence labeling method that can be used to determine the in vivo distribution of P. ginseng protein (PGP). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to define the amino acid composition and molecular weight of PGP; LC-MS/MS was used to identify the PGP structure, which was fluorescently-labeled using a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) probe. The connection form of the PGP fluorescent marker (PGP-FITC) was identified by ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry. The in vivo distribution of PGP was observed by fluorescence imaging, and tissue content was determined. Results showed that PGP was enriched in the brain and that vascular epithelial cells showed specific uptake. We provide an experimental method to label and identify the in vivo distribution of PGP, which forms the basis for future studies to determine whether PGP can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and elucidate the transport mechanism.

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
