A comparison of SWATH-MS methods for measurement of residual host cell proteins in adeno-associated virus preparations by Thomas M. Leibiger, Lie Min, Kelvin H. Lee

“…Sciex ZenoTOF 7600) were assessed. Method attributes including sample requirement and processing time, and method outputs including protein and precursor identifications, host cell protein quantitation comparisons across methods, and quantitation coefficients of variance (CV) were considered to help establish a SWATH-MS workflow well-suited for rAAV HCP analytics.ResultsA 78% increase in HCP identifications, 80% reduction in sample requirement, and 70% reduction in instrument runtime was achieved with an in silico spectral library, data processing in DIA-NN, and data collection with the Sciex ZenoTOF 7600 instrument (DIA-NN-7600 method) compared to a previously established method using a DDA-derived spectral library, data processing in Skyline, and data collection with the Sciex TripleTOF 6600 instrument (Skyline-DDA-6600 method). …”

Personalized privacy protection method for group recommendation by Haiyan WANG, Jinxiang LU

“…To address the problem that most of the existing privacy protection methods can not satisfy the user’s personalized requirements very well in group recommendation,a user personalized privacy protection framework based on trusted client for group recommendation (UPPPF-TC-GR) followed with a group sensitive preference protection method (GSPPM) was proposed.In GSPPM,user’s historical data and privacy preference demands were collected in the trusted client,and similar users were selected in the group based on sensitive topic similarity between users.Privacy protection for users who had privacy preferences in the group was realized by randomization of cooperative disturbance to top k similar users.Simulation experiments show that the proposed GSPPM can not only satisfy privacy protection requirements for each user but also achieve better performance.…”
