Antibody Glycosylation by Mass Spectrometry

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Antibodies (Abs) are glycoproteins of prime importance in the immune system, with immunoglobulin G (IgG) as their most common representative. There are many sources of IgGs and several motives to characterize their glycosylation patterns and amino acid (AA) sequences, which is the central theme of this proposal. The PI’s laboratory has specialized in glycosylation analysis for over 20 years, and has trained many HQP. This proposal involves a minimum of 10 HQP over 5 years and each of them will benefit of interdisciplinary training in bioanalytical chemistry and mass spectrometry (MS). Sections of the proposal are summarized below.
