Abstract
IgG antibodies are modulated in their function by the specific structure of the N‐glycans attached to their Fc (fragment crystallizable) portions. However, the glycosylation analysis of antigen‐specific IgGs is a challenging task as antibody levels to a given antigen only represent a fraction of the total IgG levels. Here, we investigated the use of a transient‐ITP (t‐ITP)—MS method for highly sensitive IgG1 glycosylation profiling as a complementary method to a high‐throughput nano‐RPLC‐MS method. It was found that t‐ITP‐CZE using neutrally coated separation capillaries with a large volume injection (37% of capillary volume) and interfaced to MS with a sheathless porous sprayer yielded a 40‐fold increase in sensitivity for IgG1 Fc glycopeptide analysis when compared to the conventional strategy. Furthermore, the glycoform profiles found with the t‐ITP‐CZE strategy were comparable to those from nano‐RPLC‐MS. In conclusion, the use of the highly sensitive t‐ITP‐CZE‐MS method will provide information on IgG Fc glycosylation for those samples with IgG1 concentrations below the LODs of the conventional method.Keywords
