Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been used for two decades to profile the glycan constituents of biological samples. An adaptation of the method to tissues, MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI), allows high-throughput spatial profiling of hundreds to thousands of molecules within a single thin tissue section. The ability to profile N-glycans within tissues using MALDI-MSI is a recently developed method that allows identification and localization of 40 or more N-glycans. The key component is to apply a molecular coating of peptide-N-glycosidase to tissues, an enzyme that releases N-glycans from their protein carrier. In this chapter, the methods and approaches to robustly and reproducibly generate two-dimensional N-glycan tissue maps by MALDI-MSI workflows are summarized. Current strengths and limitations of the approach are discussed, as well as potential future applications of the method.
