The Alterations of Serum N-glycome in Response to SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination.

ABSTRACT: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has caused a global concern since its outbreak in 2019, with one of the main solutions being vaccination. Altered glycosylation has been described in patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection, while the effect of vaccination on serum glycoproteins remained unexplored. In this study, total serum glycosylation was analyzed in patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or mRNA vaccination in order to identify potential glycosylation-based alterations. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to identify post-COVID-19 and post-Vaccinated patients and rule out potential outliers. Serum samples were deglycosylated by PNGase F digestion, and the released glycans were fluorescently derivatized using procainamide labeling. Solid-
