The present disclosure is particularly advantageous for quantifying BRAF proteins directly in biological samples immobilized in formalin by methods that may also be referred to as selective reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectroscopy, or multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectroscopy. From threonine-protein kinase B-raf (BRAF) provides specific peptides, and derived ionization characteristics of the peptides. Such biological samples are chemically preserved and fixed, wherein the biological samples are formalin-fixed tissues / cells, formalin-fixed / paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues / cells, FFPE tissue blocks and cells derived from the blocks, and formalin. Tissue culture cells and cells fixed and / or paraffin-embedded, including formaldehyde-treated tissues and cells.
