Only structures with a relative average intensity above the LOD (n) were considered for further analysis. Fucosylated oligosaccharides are displayed according to the linkage type. When two or more fucose residues were present, oligosaccharides are designated as either combined NCF, if CF is absent, or combined CF, if the glycan structure has a CF. Absolute number of recognized structures and relative percentage are given for comparison.
