Data generated from three quantitative mass spectral methods for the analysis of trivalent influenza vaccine antigens are compared

Herein we present the data necessary for generation of alternative means to produce equimolar mixtures of peptides (“Design and Expression of a QconCAT Protein to Validate Hi3 Protein Quantification of Influenza Vaccine Antigens” (D.G.S. Smith, G. Gingras, Y. Aubin, T.D. Cyr, 2016) [1]), such as QConCAT (“Trends in QconCATs for targeted proteomics” (J. Chen, I.V. Turko, 2014) [2] , “Natural flanking sequences for peptides included in a quantification concatamer internal standard” (C.S. Cheung, K.W. Anderson, M. Wang, I.V. Turko, 2015) [3]) and SpikeTides versus the label free Hi3 approach. The experimental design and the interpretation of results are discussed in the original article [1].
