Figure 5 Effect of sialidase and carboxypeptidase treatment on the IgG1 product. The Isoforms 1 and 2 are not present in the sialidase and carboxy peptidase treated sample but they are present in sialidase treated sample. Isoforms 6, 7, 8 are not present in sialidase treated sample indicating that they contain sialic acid.
