Human lactoferrin was produced in genetically engineered rice. N-linked glycan structures of recombinant human lactoferrin were determined. The oligosaccharides liberated by hydrazinolysis were labeled with 2-aminopyridine (PA). The PA-labeled glycans were purified by reverse-phase and size-fractionation HPLCs. The structures of these glycans were identified by HPLC, exoglycosidase digestion, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The glycan structures determined were ManFucXylGlcNAc(2) (3.4%), Man(2)FucGlcNAc(2) (2.1%), Man(3)FucGlcNAc(2) (2.5%), Man(3)FucXylGlcNAc(2) (42.5%), two isomers of Man(2)FucXylGlcNAc(2) (39.1%), Man(3)XylGlcNAc(2) (6.5%), and Man(2)XylGlcNAc(2) (3.9%).
