QC data for vIL-4 peptide SFLNDLANALQR identified by LC-MS/MS.

Top rows show up to three MS2 spectra matched at 1% FDR, with matching y-b ion series labeled in blue and red. On the right of each row is the MS1 precursor window used for fragmentation. The bottom row shows an extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) for the peptide precursor mass over the matching retention time window for all nine samples (1875C5, Laryngo-Vac, and mock). True viral peptides should have XIC elution peaks in infected samples but not mock. (PDF)
