Popis: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation is essential for function of the immune system, but the genetic and environmental factors that underlie its inter- individual variability are not well defined. The Collaborative Cross (CC) genetic resource harnesses over 90% of the common genetic variation of the mouse. By analyzing the IgG glycome composition of 95 CC strains, we made several important observations: (i) glycome variation between mouse strains was higher than between individual humans, despite all mice having the same environmental influences ; (ii) five genetic loci were found to be associated with murine IgG glycosylation ; (iii) variants outside traditional glycosylation site motifs affected glycome variation ; (iv) bisecting N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) was produced by several strains although most previous studies have reported the absence of glycans containing the bisecting GlcNAc on murine IgGs ; and (v) common laboratory mouse strains are not optimal animal models for studying effects of glycosylation on IgG function.
