Direct mass spectrometry-based detection and antibody sequencing of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance from patient serum
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a plasma cell disorder, leading to the presence of monoclonal antibody (i.e., M-protein) in serum, without clinical symptoms. Here we present a case study in which we detect MGUS by liquid-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) profiling of IgG1 in human serum. We detected a Fab-glycosylated M-protein and determined the full heavy and light chain sequences by bottom-up proteomics techniques using multiple proteases, further validated by top-down LC-MS. Moreover, the composition and location of the Fab-glycan could be determined in CDR1 of the heavy chain.
