N-Glycosylation of Plant Recombinant Pharmaceuticals

N -glycosylation is a maturation event necessary for the correct function, efficiency, and stability of a high number of biopharmaceuticals. This chapter presented here proposes various methods to determine whether, how, and where a plant pharmaceutical is N -glycosylated. These methods rely on blot detection with glycan-specific probes, specific deglycosylation of glycoproteins followed by mass spectrometry, N -glycan profile analysis, and glycopeptide identification by LC-MS.
