Structure of Aβ1-15 glycopeptide standard 1 and schematic protocol for the Aβ immunopurification and LC-MS/MS of CSF samples. (A) Structure of Galβ3GalNAcα1-O-Tyr glycosylated Aβ1-15 having 15N and 13C isotope labels on Asp-1 and 13C on the GalNAc N-acetyl group. (B) The 1 and Aβ1-15** internal standards were added to CSF samples and co-immunopurified using antibody 6E10 coated magnetic beads. The co-immunopurified internal standards as well as native Aβ peptides and glycopeptides, from QC samples, were directly subjected to LC-MS/MS (Route 1) or to acid hydrolysis of sialic acid residues, QC and patient samples, and then analyzed with the PRM assay (Route 2). A range of Aβ peptides and glycopeptides were co-immunopurified, but only Aβ1-15, glycosylated Aβ1-15, Aβ1-17, and glycosylated Aβ1-17 were included in the PRM assay.
