Glycoengineering of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has the potential to improve the efficacy of biopharmaceuticals, however, monitoring the glycoengineering process by glycosylation analysis often requires a multi-method approach. Here, the authors present a direct glycosylation analysis of intact mAbs by combining conventional ESI-MS of intact glycoforms and MALDI-in-source decay FT-ICR MS of glycan fragments.
