Light peptides represent endogenous peptides in plasma. bheavy peptides represent SIS peptides (>95% purity). cIons represent the top 3 ions, where bold type indicates the ions used in quantitation. dDP, eCE, and fRT represent declustering potential, collisional energy, and average retention time, respectively.
