Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to methods of producing an increase in the enrichment or recovery of preferred forms of IgG proteins. More particularly, the invention relates to subjecting preparations of such recombinant IgG proteins with a reduction/oxidation coupling reagent and optionally a chaotropic agent.

Abstract:
Methods for quantifying biospecimen sample integrity using markers of oxidation (FIG. ). Under conditions of incomplete blood plasma/serum (P IS) sample freezing (including storage at −20 ?C), two different forms of oxidation occur spontaneously at protein sulfur atoms—namely S-cysteinylation of free cysteine residues (in which the oxidative event is disulfide bond formation) and sulfoxidation of methionine. Oxidized forms of albumin and apoA-1, SCA and MOA1 are useful markers of biospecimen integrity. The oxidative chemistries of SCA and MOAI are operational in other proteins and polypeptides. Thus, for rare cases in which the use of SCA or MOA1 may be contraindicated, custom designed surrogate peptide probes based on SCA and MOA1 oxidation chemistry may be fortified into samples at collection to serve as exogenous markers of P/S sample integrity.

International Classification:
C12Q 1/48
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for analyzing glycan-derived monosaccharides in a sample. The present disclosure also provides a method for detecting or monitoring a disease or disorder in a patient. In addition, the present disclosure provides a method of determining aberrant glycotransferase activity. The present disclosure further provides a system for analyzing or comparing glycates in a sample.
