"Proteins from the laser capture microdissected samples of amyloid from the eyelid, conjunctiva and orbit were extracted using a modified protocol of the Liquid Tissue MS Protein Prep Kit (Expression Pathology Inc., Gaithersburg, MD). LCM films containing captured protein deposits and control tissue samples were stripped from the caps and incubated with 40 ̵l extraction buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.8,0.1% RapiGest (Waters)) at 95̡C for 90 min. Samples were centrifuged at 10.000 ̉ g for 1 min and subsequently cooled on ice. Extracted proteins were incubated with 5 ̵g porcine trypsin (Sigma) at 37̡C for 16 hours, vortexing every 20 min for the first hour. Samples were then centrifuged at 10.000 ̉ g for 5 min, supernatant isolated and incubated with 10 mM DTT at 95̡C for 5 min followed by incubation with 30 mM iodoacetamide for 15 min in the dark. Peptides generated fromeach digest were acidified with 5 ̵l of 5% formic acid and recovered using Stage-tips (Proxeon, Thermo Scientific) . The peptides were eluted with 10 ̵l 70 % acetonitrile, and subsequently lyophilized before being dissolved in 12 ̵l 0.1% formic acid.
