A method to identify trace sulfated IgG N-glycans as biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis

Post-translational modifications can affect antibody function in health and disease, but identification of all variants is difficult using existing technologies. Here the authors develop a microfluidic method to identify and quantify low-abundance IgG N-glycans and show some of these IgGs can be use...
