Abstract:
Highlights
•nLC-MS/MS method to analyze immunoglobulin (Ig) N-glycopeptides from human serum.
•Multi-isotype, site-specific characterization of immunoglobulin N-glycosylation.
•IgA2 sequence and glycosylation-site variant analyses.
•Platform to define disease-specific N-glycan signatures for different Ig isotypes.
