Proteomic analysis of porcine IgG is complicated by factors such as the presence of several subtypes, redundant heavy chain (HC) sequences in protein databases, and the lack of consistent cross-referencing between databases. Aligning and comparing HC sequences were necessary to eliminate redundancy. This study highlights the complexity of pig IgG and shows the importance of MS in proteomics and glycoproteomics.
