Characterization of recombinant human lactoferrin N-glycans expressed in the milk of transgenic cows. [PDF]
Lactoferrin (LF) is one of the most abundant bioactive glycoproteins in human milk. Glycans attached through N-glycosidic bonds may contribute to Lactoferrin functional activities. In contrast, LF is present in trace amounts in bovine milk.

Poor peptide fragmentation and unusual glycan structures limit mass spectrometry-based analysis of intact N-glycopeptides. Here, the authors develop Glyco-Decipher, a glycan-independent peptide search tool, to tackle these issues and improve the coverage

Glycan profiling shows unvaried N-glycomes in MSC clones with distinct differentiation potentials [PDF]
Different cell types have different N-glycomes in mammals. This means that cellular differentiation is accompanied by changes in the N-glycan profile. Yet when the N-glycomes of cell types with differing fates diverge is unclear. We have investigated the

Uncommon N-Glycan Structures in Anhydrobiotic Tardigrades. [PDF]
We characterized the N-glycosylation profiles of anhydrobiotic tardigrades, R. varieornatus and H. exemplaris, identifying high-mannose, paucimannose, and complex-type oligosaccharides, while hybrid-type glycans were undetectable. Notably, paucimannose-type oligosaccharides accounted for 39% of the N-glycans in R. varieornatus and 17% in H. exemplaris,

Species-specific N-glycan patterns in animal and human breast milk samples [PDF]
The main components of milk are protein, fat and carbohydrates. Glycans are complex carbohydrate structures covalently bound to proteins and lipids or exist freely in solutions.

Identification of a free-N-glycan with difucosylated type-1 lactosamine in cancerous tissue and its validation for cancer diagnosis by urinary testing [PDF]
Numerous urinary acidic free-glycan tumor marker candidates have been identified based on the glycan structure profiles of human cancer tissues. In this study, to identify novel glycan tumor markers, we performed precise glycan structural analysis ...

Recent advances in N-glycan biomarker discovery among human diseases. [PDF]
N-glycans play important roles in a variety of biological processes. In recent years, analytical technologies with high resolution and sensitivity have advanced exponentially, enabling analysts to investigate N-glycomic changes in different states. Specific glycan and glycosylation signatures have been identified in multiple diseases, including cancer,

Analytical methods fr direct quantitative N-glycan analysis require a sequence of sample preparation and clean-up steps that result in reduced glycan recovery. Therefore, we aimed to combine glycan release and labeling steps. Based on the hypothesis that

Production and N-glycan engineering of Varlilumab in Nicotiana benthamiana
N-glycan engineering has dramatically evolved for the development and quality control of recombinant antibodies. Fc region of IgG contains two N-glycans whose galactose terminals on Fc-glycan have been shown to increase the stability of CH2 domain and ...

The Impact of Glycoengineering on the Endoplasmic Reticulum Quality Control System in Yeasts
Yeasts are widely used and established production hosts for biopharmaceuticals. Despite of tremendous advances on creating human-type N-glycosylation, N-glycosylated biopharmaceuticals manufactured with yeasts are missing on the market.
