Structural characterization of the oligosaccharides of a human monoclonal anti-lipopolysaccharide immunoglobulin M

The oligosaccharide side chains of a human anti-lipopolysaccharide IgM produced by a human-human-mouse heterohybridoma were analyzed at each of its five conserved N-glycosylation sites. This antibody also has a potential sixth N-glycosylation site in the variable region of its heavy chain which is not glycosylated. The oligosaccharides were released by digestion with various endo- and exoglycosidases and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis. The antibody has various complex- and hybrid-type oligosaccharide structures at Asn 171, various sialylated complex-type oligosaccharides at Asn 332 and 395, and high-mannose-type oligosaccharides at Asn 402 and 563. Of note is the presence in this human IgM of oligosaccharides containing N-glycolylneuraminic acid and N-acetylneuraminic acid in the ratio of 98:2 as determined using anion- exchange chromatography. Furthermore, we observed oligosaccharide structures containing Gal alpha (1,3)Gal that have not been reported as components of human glycoproteins.
