“…Each of the PNGase F-digested samples was loaded onto a Sep-Pak C18 column, which had been pre-equilibrated in 5% acetic acid, and the Nglycans were eluted from the column with 4 mL 5% acetic acid. The following 18 O-labeled/ 16 O-N-glycan mixtures at various ratios of 10:1, 5:1, 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, 1:5, and 1:10 were prepared for N-glycans from the F samples. For N-glycans from the human serum samples, 18 O-labeled/ 16 O-N-glycans were mixed at a ratio of 1:1.…”
