Toward robust N-glycomics of various tissue samples that may contain glycans with unknown or unexpected structures

Abstract Glycans in tissues are structurally diverse and usually include a large number of isomers that cannot be easily distinguished by mass spectrometry (MS). To address this issue, we developed a combined method that can efficiently separate and identify glycan isomers. First, we separated 2-ami...
