Glycosylation Analysis of Therapeutic Glycoproteins

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are glycoproteins produced by living cell systems. Glycosylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins. The glycan moieties attached to the proteins can directly affect protein stability, bioactivity, and immunogenicity. Therefore, glycan variants of a glycoprotein product must be adequately analyzed and controlled to ensure product quality. However, the inherent complexity of protein glycosylation, combining the vast diversity in glycan structure and composition add an additional level of daunting analytical challenge.

In the development of therapeutic glycoproteins (e.g., mAbs), especially biosimilar products, glycan analysis usually involves the use of complementary methods for assessing specific glycosylation attributes, including:

  • glycosylation site
  • glycan structure: the structure of the carbohydrate chains, the oligosaccharide pattern (antennary profile)
  • abundance: the carbohydrate content (neutral sugars, amino sugars, and sialic acids)

Analytical methods:

Methods Application
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) Widely used to quantify the amounts of released oligosaccharides
Mass spectrometry (MS) Coupled with HPLC remains a powerful tool in the characterization of glycosylation site(s) occupancy and carbohydrate structures
Lectin-based microarray Directly measure glycan variations in an intact protein without the need of clipping glycans from the protein backbone
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) Alone or in combination is commonly used to monitor heterogeneity in sialic acids on intact glycoproteins
Isoelectric focusing (IEF)
Ion-exchange (IEX)

The selection of appropriate methods for a specific glycoprotein will depend on the purpose of testing and the ability of individual method in analyzing intact glycoproteins, glycopeptides, released glycans, and monosaccharides.
