How to Provide BC Research related Glycosylation Analysis Services?
Creative Biolabs offers comprehensive glycosylation analysis services utilizing state-of-the-art mass spectrometry platforms coupled with advanced separation techniques. Our approach is highly customizable to meet your specific research needs, whether it's broad glycan profiling or targeted site-specific glycopeptide mapping. We leverage enzymatic and chemical methods for glycan release, ensuring compatibility with diverse sample types, and employ sophisticated data analysis pipelines for accurate quantification and biological interpretation. Our detailed analysis process involves:
Isolation of proteins/glycoproteins from your samples, followed by enzymatic (e.g., PNGase F for N-glycans, O-glycosidase for O-glycans) or chemical release of glycans.
Enhancing detection capabilities by labeling released glycans with fluorescent tags or chemical derivatizing agents.
Employing advanced chromatographic methods (e.g., reverse-phase liquid chromatography) to separate complex mixtures of glycans.
Utilizing high-accuracy mass spectrometers capable of detecting and quantifying even low-abundance glycans, providing both molecular weight and structural information through fragmentation.
Applying proprietary and public databases, algorithms, and statistical tools to identify glycan structures, quantify their relative and absolute abundances, and perform comparative analyses between different sample groups.
What Are the Glycosylation Analyses Related to BC Research?
Creative Biolabs offers a range of glycosylation analysis services tailored for BC research:
N-Glycan Profiling
Comprehensive identification and quantification of N-linked glycans from total cellular proteins or specific glycoprotein fractions. This is critical for understanding changes in cell surface receptors, secreted proteins, and their roles in signaling and immune recognition.
O-Glycan Profiling
Detailed analysis of O-linked glycans, which are often found on mucins and play crucial roles in cell adhesion, growth factor signaling, and immune modulation.
Site-Specific Glycopeptide Analysis
Precise determination of which amino acid residues (asparagine for N-glycans, serine/threonine for O-glycans) are glycosylated on your target proteins, providing a deeper understanding of functional implications.
Quantitative Glycosylation Analysis
Using label-free or labeled methods to accurately quantify changes in glycan abundance between healthy and cancerous tissue samples.
Glycosylation Biomarker Discovery
A targeted approach to identify unique glycan signatures that can serve as diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive biomarkers for various breast cancer pathologies and responses to therapies.

FAQs
Q1: Is your glycosylation analysis sensitive enough to detect low-abundance biomarkers in samples?
A1: Yes, Creative Biolabs utilizes state-of-the-art mass spectrometry platforms and optimized sample preparation protocols to achieve exceptional sensitivity. This allows for the detection and quantification of even low-abundance glycan biomarkers in complex biological matrices such as serum or tissue lysates, crucial for discovery and validation.
Q2: Can your service differentiate between different BC subtypes or stages based on glycosylation patterns?
A2: Absolutely. Our quantitative glycosylation analysis services are designed to perform comparative studies across various BC subtypes or disease stages. By identifying differentially expressed glycans, we can help you uncover subtype-specific glycosylation signatures that may aid in more precise patient stratification and personalized treatment strategies.
Q3: What precautions should I take when collecting and storing samples for glycosylation analysis?
A3: Proper sample handling is critical for accurate results. We recommend rapid freezing of tissue and fluid samples, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and storing them at -80°C. For specific guidelines tailored to your sample type, our technical support team provides detailed instructions upon project initiation to ensure sample integrity and optimal analytical outcomes.
Customer Review
Detailed Reporting and Quick Turnaround
"Using Creative Biolabs' glycosylation analysis service in our research has significantly improved our understanding of how altered glycosylation on membrane proteins contributes to BC cell invasiveness. The quantitative data provided was highly precise and directly led us to focus on specific glycoforms that we now believe are key drivers. The detailed reporting and quick turnaround were invaluable." - Dr. C. Dav***s.
