Violin plots representing the glycopeptide ratios (aggressive vs. indolent prostate cancer) of the three most frequent glycopeptide variants identified in the current study. Glycopeptides identified and quantified in 24 serum samples were segmented based on the glycan structures irrespective of the protein origin. The three most frequent glycopeptide variants were the mono-sialylated bi-antennary, di-sialylated bi-antennary without and with one fucose residue. Mascot Distiller was used to calculate the XIC values and the corresponding ratios between aggressive (12) and indolent (12) samples. Glycopeptide precursors contributing to a minimum 50% of the XIC peak area and passing the correlation threshold of 0.8 were only considered.
