107 cells per each cell line were collected. Allantoic and amniotic membranes were extracted from 10-day old chicken embryos. All samples were treated as described previously37 (link),59 (link). Briefly, each cell line was subjected to sonication in the presence of detergent 3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate hydrate (CHAPS, #10810118001, Roche), reduction in 4 M guanidine-HCl (#24115, Thermo), carboxymethylation, and trypsin (#T0303, Sigma) digestion. The digested glycoproteins were then purified by plus short HLB-Sep-Pak (#186000132, Waters Corp.). N-glycans were released by peptide N-glycosidase F (E.C. 3.5.1.52; #11365177001, Roche) digestion. Released N-glycans were permethylated using the sodium hydroxide procedure and purified by classic short C18-Sep-Pak (#WAT051910, Waters). Permethylated N-glycans were eluted at the 50% acetonitrile fraction.
