Abstract
We surveyed 23 antibody-related marketing applications for glycoform analytical and functional information. Our database analysis shows a clear trend of increasing sophistication of analytical methods used to identify and quantify glycans. These have revealed a high degree of complexity and heterogeneity of glycans attached to antibody products. The nature of the complexity is influenced by product type and expression system, and may be associated with functional consequences in some but not all cases.
