Abstract
We describe quantitative characterization of a sample preparation platform for rapid and high-throughput analysis of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and their post-translational modifications. MAb capture, desalting and in situ reduction/alkylation were accomplished by sequential adsorption of analyte to solid phase beads (protein A, reverse-phase) suspended in microtiter plate wells. Following elution and rapid tryptic digestion in the presence of acid-labile surfactant (RapiGest), peptides were fractionated by stepwise elution from reverse-phase pipet tips and the fraction containing Fc N-glycopeptides isolated. Direct quantitative analysis of the relative abundance of peptide glycoforms by MALDI-TOF MS in linear mode closely correlated with normal phase HPLC analysis of fluorophore labeled N-glycans released by PNGaseF.
