An on-line reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (MS) method has been developed for profiling and characterizing N-glycans from recombinant immunoglobutin G antibodies. In this method, released N-glycans are derivatized at their reducing end with 2-aminobenzamide (2AB) and separated on a RP column with on-line fluorescence and MS detection. The method achieves good resolution of all major glycans and segregates glycan types (high-mannose, hybrid, and complex) to different regions of the chromatogram, thus allowing accurate quantification of N-glycans from the fluorescent signal alone. Moreover, the mobile phase used allows high quality on-line MS detection. The 2AB-labeled N-glycans demonstrate good ionization efficiency in electrospray and generate primarily doubly charged [M+2H](2+) ions. The mass and structural information can be readily obtained from the on-line MS and tandem MS data. As little as 70 fmol glycan species can be detected and identified. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
