Screening of Antagonistic Bacteria against Three Aquatic Pathogens and Characterization of Lipopeptides in BA09.

Screening for antagonistic bacteria on aquatic pathogens and identification of antagonistic ingredients are essential to reduce the use of chemicals in aquaculture. In this study, strain BA09, subsequently identified as , simultaneously displayed strong antagonistic effects on , , and in the initial screening and rescreening. In addition, the methanol extract of BA09 was subjected to antibacterial activity verification and one-dimensional (1D) reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) preparation.

[Applications of chromatography in glycomics].

Glycomics, an emerging "omics" technology that was developed after genomics and proteomics, is a discipline that studies the composition, structure, and functions of glycomes in cells, tissues, and organisms. Glycomics plays key roles in understanding the laws of major life activities, disease prevention and treatment, and drug quality control and development. At present, the structural analysis of glycans relies mainly on mass spectrometry.

Isolation of Human Milk Difucosyl Nona- and Decasaccharides by Ultrahigh-Temperature Preparative PGC-HPLC and Identification of Novel Difucosylated Heptaose and Octaose Backbones by Negative-Ion ESI-MS.

Despite their many important physiological functions, past work on the diverse sequences of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) has been focused mainly on the highly abundant HMOs with a relatively low degree of polymerization (DP) due to the lack of efficient methods for separation/purification and high-sensitivity sequencing of large-sized HMOs with DP ≥ 10. Here we established an ultrahigh-temperature preparative HPLC based on a porous graphitized carbon column at up to 145 °C to overcome the anomeric α/β splitting problem and developed further the negative-ion ESI-CID-MS/MS into multistage MS using a combined product-ion scanning of singly charged molecular ion and doubly charged fragment ion of the branching Gal and adjacent GlcNAc residues. The separation and sequencing method allows efficient separation of a neutral fraction with DP ≥ 10 into 70 components, among which 17 isomeric difucosylated nona- and decasaccharides were further purified and sequenced.

An integrated strategy for the discovery of quality marker of Dactylicapnos scandens based on phytochemical analysis, network pharmacology and activity screening.

Dactylicapnos scandens (D. scandens) is an ethnic medicine commonly used for the treatment of analgesia. In this study, an integrated strategy was proposed for the quality evaluation of D.

Application of chromatography in purification and structural analysis of natural polysaccharides: A review.

Polysaccharides are widely distributed in natural sources from monocytic microorganisms to higher animals, and are found in a variety of biological activities in recent decades. Natural polysaccharides have the characteristics of large molecular weight, diverse composition, and complex structure, so their purification and structural analysis are difficult issues in research. Chromatography as a powerful separation technique, plays an irreplaceable role in the separation and structural analysis of natural polysaccharides, especially in the purification of polysaccharides, the separation of hydrolysates, and the analysis of monosaccharide composition.

GIPS-Mix for Accurate Identification of Isomeric Components in Glycan Mixtures Using Intelligent Group-Opting Strategy.

Accurate identification of glycan structures is highly desirable as they are intimately linked to their different functions. However, glycan samples generally exist as mixtures with multiple isomeric structures, making assignment of individual glycan components very challenging, even with the aid of multistage mass spectrometry (MS). Here, we present an approach, GIPS-mix, for assignment of isomeric glycans within a mixture using an intelligent group-opting strategy.

Updated clinical and glycomic features of mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase deficiency: Two case reports.

Background: Mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase (MOGS) deficiency is an extremely rare type of congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), with only 12 reported cases. Its clinical, genetic, and glycomic features are still expanding. Our aim is to update the novel clinical and glycosylation features of 2 previously reported patients with MOGS-CDG.

Development of high-throughput UPLC-MS/MS using multiple reaction monitoring for quantitation of complex human milk oligosaccharides and application to large population survey of secretor status and Lewis blood group.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have attracted increasing attention due to the emerging evidence of their positive roles for infant's health. A high-throughput method for absolute quantitation of the complex HMOs including multiple isomeric structures is important but very challenging, due to the highly divers nature and wide variation in content of HMOs from different individuals. Here we used UPLC-MS-MRM in the negative-ion mode for accurate quantitation of 23 complex HMOs in just 15 min.

Calibration for quantitative Fc-glycosylation analysis of therapeutic IgG1-type monoclonal antibodies by using glycopeptide standards.

Fc-glycosylation has crucial impact on the efficacy and safety of IgG-type therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). In order to enhance the performance of MS-based bottom-up quantitation strategy, a library of glycopeptide standards containing 26 common IgG1-type Fc-glycoforms has been constructed via modified two-dimensional hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) purification. Taking advantage of the acquired glycopeptide standards, calibrated quantitation strategy for Fc-glycosylation analysis of mAbs was established and evaluated on the basis of three LC-MS-based methods, including HILIC-MRM (multiple reaction monitoring), HILIC-SIM (selected ion monitor) and RPLC-SIM.

Purification of natural neutral N-glycans by using two-dimensional hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography × porous graphitized carbon chromatography for glycan-microarray assay.

Glycan microarray for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions requires diverse classes of well-defined glycan standards. In this study, a purification strategy was established based on two-dimensional hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and porous graphitized carbon chromatography (HILIC × PGC) for the acquisition of neutral N-glycan standards from natural source. A total of thirty-one N-glycan compounds including seven pairs of isomers with the amounts from 0.

Absolute quantitation of high abundant Fc-glycopeptides from human serum IgG-1.

Absolute quantitation of IgG-1 Fc-glycosylation, which is crucial for the clinical practice of glyco-biomarkers and quality control of biopharmaceuticals, has been hindered by the lack of glycopeptide standards. In this study, eleven high abundant IgG-1 Fc-glycopeptides with definite peptide sequences and glycoforms were purified from commercial IgG protein by using two-dimensional hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic system. Based on the acquired glycopeptide standards, an absolute quantitation strategy was developed to determine the concentrations of 11 target IgG-1 glycopeptides from pooled human sera.
