It is well known that cyclosporine A (CsA), a widely used immunosuppressant for clinical organ transplantation, has the ability to inhibit HCV replication. In this study, the effects of several other immunosuppressants, including mycophenolic acid (MPA), rapamycin and FK-506, on
LC-MS/MS is a powerful tool that brings numerous benefits to the clinical sample analysis arena. However, due to the complexity of the instrumentation there are some unique challenges that also accompany these benefits. Even following sample extraction and cleanup, matrix effects from the samples can cause interferences or impact ionization efficiency.
