Figure 1

Glycoblotting followed by MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of mice sera: (A) N-glycan release; (B) chemoselective ligation of whole serum N-glycans by “BlotGlyco” beads; (C) washing; (D) on-bead esterifications of sialyl-terminal(s); and (E) trans-iminization by benzyloxiamine to generate BOA-tagged N-glycans; and (F) MALDI-TOF/MS analysis. The figure was drawn, in its original form,by the authors of this manuscript.

Fiigure 5

The average expression levels (pmole) of the 15 major N-glycans of the C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mouse serum, identified by the biosynthetic pathway. Peak number 12 at m/z 2175 assigned as an internal standard structured, [(Hex)2 (HexNAc)2 (Neu5Ac)2 + (Man)3 (GlcNAc)1], with 40 μM concentrations. N-glycans sugar particles showed as follow: HexNAc, N-acetylhexosamine (GlcNAc, N-acetylglucoseamine (blue square) or GalNAc, N-acetylgalactoseamine (yellow square) depends on the description); Deoxyhexose, fucose (redtriangle); Hex, hexose (Mannose (green circle), and galactose (yellow circle) depend on the description); and Neu5Ac, 5-N-acetylneuraminic acid (purple diamond), I.S, Internal Standard.
