Article Abstract

A new hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) column packed with amide 1.7 μm sorbent was applied to the characterization of glycoprotein digests. Due to the impact of the hydrophilic carbohydrate moiety, glycopeptides were more strongly retained on the column and separated from the remaining nonglycosylated peptides present in the digest. The glycoforms of the same parent peptide were also chromatographically resolved and analyzed using ultraviolet and mass spectrometry detectors. The HILIC method was applied to glyco-profiling of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody and proteins with several N-linked and O-linked glycosylation sites. For characterization of complex proteins with multiple glycosylation sites we utilized 2D LC, where RP separation dimension was used for isolation of glycopeptides and HILIC for resolution of peptide glycoforms. The analysis of site-specific glycan microheterogeneity was illustrated for the CD44 fusion protein.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis of childhood, which can lead to complications affecting multiple organ systems. Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is an extremely rare complication of KD, characterised by excessive protein loss through the gastrointestinal tract, leading to hypoalbuminaemia, oedema and immune dysfunction. We report a case of an early childhood boy with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG)-resistant incomplete KD who developed PLE.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that is characterized by a severe and progressive demyelinating process. It is considered a neurodegenerative autoimmune disorder driven by immune cell infiltration, overproduction of cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation that leads to axonal and neuronal injury. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is the most commonly used pre-clinical model of multiple sclerosis (MS), since it resembles many aspects of the human disease.

Glycosylation, a pivotal post-translational modification, critically influences colorectal cancer (CRC) progression via dysregulated N- and O-linked pathways, characterized by oligomannose, fucosylation, hypersialylation, truncated O-glycans (Tn, sialyl-Tn), branched N-glycans, and Lewis antigens. These alterations promote tumor aggressiveness, immune evasion, and metastasis through glycoprotein remodeling (e.g.

Breastfeeding is essential for reducing infant morbidity and mortality, yet exclusive breastfeeding rates remain low, often because of insufficient milk production. The molecular causes of low milk production are not well understood. Fresh milk samples from 30 lactating individuals, classified by milk production levels across postpartum stages, were analyzed using genomic and microbiome techniques.

Regulatory T cells are essential for immune homeostasis. While CD4 T cells are well characterized, CD8 T cells remain less understood and are primarily observed in pathological or experimental contexts. Here, we identify a naturally occurring CD8 regulatory precursor T cell at the steady state, defined by a CD8HLA-DRCD27 phenotype and a transcriptome resembling CD4 T cells.
