Table 1. Quantification of the N-glycosylation site occupancy.

Secreted mAb ER-retained mAb
Glycosylation site occupancy % of glycosylation based on ion intensities % of glycosylation based on densitometry % of glycosylation based on ion intensities % of glycosylation based on densitometry
EEQYDSTYR 77 80 70 68
EEQYNSTYR 23 20 30 32

The N-glycosylation site occupancy was calculated from the comparison of the ion intensity of the non-glycosylated versus deglycosylated peptides using single and discharged specific ions and from densitometry analysis of the two bands corresponding to heavy chains observed on the NuPAGE gel.
