Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) translate antigen recognition by immunoglobulin G (IgG) into various immune responses. A better understanding of this key element of immunity promises novel insights into mechanisms of (auto-/allo-)immune diseases and more rationally designed antibody-based drugs. Glycosylation on both IgG and FcγR impacts their interaction dramatically. Regarding FcγR glycosylation profiling, major analytical challenges are associated with the presence of multiple glycosylation sites in close proximity and large structural heterogeneity. To address these challenges, we developed a straightforward and comprehensive analytical methodology to map FcγRIIIb glycosylation in primary human cells. After neutrophil isolation and immunoprecipitation, glycopeptides containing a single site each were generated by a dual-protease in-gel digestion. The complex mixture was resolved by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) providing information on the level of individual donors. In contrast to recently published alternatives for FcγRIIIb, we assessed its site-specific glycosylation in a single LC-MS/MS run and simultaneously determined the donor allotype. Studying FcγRIIIb derived from healthy donor neutrophils, we observed profound differences as compared to the soluble variant and the homologous FcγRIIIa on natural killer cells. This method will allow assessment of differences in FcγRIII glycosylation between individuals, cell types, subcellular locations, and pathophysiological conditions.
