Claim One:
1. A process for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of a protein and/or peptide pattern of a liquid sample ( 10 ) taken from a human or animal body for checking its state, wherein the peptides and proteins of the liquid sample ( 10 ) are processed and then subjected to analysis, wherein reference and sample values describing states of a human or animal body as well as deviations and correspondences derived therefrom are established, automatically stored in a data base, and when the protein and/or peptide pattern is again determined, a search for optimum correspondence is automatically performed, characterized in that mass components or structural components of the proteins and/or peptides are established and stored, followed by calculating real masses or real structures from a common evaluation of the stored mass components or structural components, and an assignment to the proteins and/or peptides contained in the liquid sample ( 10 ) is performed from a combination of the calculated real masses or real structures.
