Glycosphingolipid (GSL)-glycan MS profiles of human lung following neuraminidase treatment. All molecular ions detected represent reduced, permethylated species and are present in the form of [M + Na]+. (a) MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum of untreated human lung GSL-glycans. (b) MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum of human lung GSL-glycans treated with neuraminidase S. (c) MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum of human lung GSL-glycans treated with neuraminidase A. Peaks representing sialylated glycans are colored in red and non-sialylated glycans are in black. Symbol representations of monosaccharides are: yellow circle, Galactose; red triangle, Fucose; blue square, N-acetylglucosamine; half-blue/half-yellow square, N-acetylhexosamine; purple diamond, N-acetylneuraminic acid.
