The identity of the ABri, ADan, and Aβ peptides in the LMPC isolated extracts from FBD, FDD, and CAA+ subjects was verified through LC–MS/MS analysis as previously described with few modifications (Michno et al., 2021 (link)). Briefly, the analysis with an alkaline mobile phase was carried out using a Q Exactive quadrupole–Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer equipped with a heated electrospray ionization source (HESI‐II) (Thermo Scientific) and UltiMate 3000 binary pump, column oven, and autosampler (Thermo Scientific). The Q Exactive was operated in data‐dependent mode. The resolution settings were 70.000 and target values were 1 × 106 both for MS and MS/MS acquisitions. Acquisitions were performed with 1 μscan/acquisition. Precursor isolation width was 3 m/z units, and ions were fragmented using higher‐energy collision‐induced dissociation at a normalized collision energy of 25.
