Popis: Monoclonal antibodies comprise a major class of biologic therapeutics and are also extensively studied in immunology. Given the importance of glycans on antibodies, fluorescent labeling of enzymatically released glycans and their LC/MS analysis is routinely used for in-depth characterization of antibody glycosylation. In this technical note, we propose a method for facile characterization of glycans in the variable region of antibodies using sequential enzymatic digests with Endoglycosidase-S2 and RapidTM Peptide-N-Glycosidase-F followed by labeling with a fluorescent dye carrying an NHS-carbamate moiety. The results and proposed mechanism also suggest that the choice of glycosidases along with the labeling chemistry is critical for accurate glycan analysis for a desired application.
