Simultaneous immunoglobulin A and G glycopeptide profiling for high-throughput applications
2020
Immunoglobulin (Ig) glycosylation is recognized for its influence on Ig turnover and effector functions. However, the large-scale profiling of Ig glycosylation in a biomedical setting is challenged by the existence of different Ig isotypes and subclasses, their varying serum concentrations and the presence of multiple glycosylation sites per Ig. Here, a high-throughput nano-liquid chromatography (LC)- mass spectrometry (MS)-based method for simultaneous analysis of IgG and IgA glycopeptides was developed and applied on a serum sample set from 185 healthy donors. Sample preparation from minute amounts of serum was performed in 96-well plate format. Prior to trypsin digestion, IgG and IgA were enriched simultaneously, followed by a one-step denaturation, reduction and alkylation. The obtained nanoLC-MS data were subjected to semi-automated, targeted feature integration and quality control. The combined and simplified protocol displayed high overall method repeatability, as assessed using pooled plasma and s...
