Fig. 2From: Fab glycosylation of immunoglobulin G does not associate with improvement of rheumatoid arthritis during pregnancyFc and Fab galactosylation and sialylation in RA and healthy controls. The percentages of galactosylation (yellow circle) and sialylation (purple diamond) on the Fc show a clear increase during pregnancy (from pre-conception to the 3rd trimester; RA only) and decrease after delivery (from 3rd trim to 26Â weeks postpartum), as well as differences between cases and controls. No differences between cases and controls, and only minor pregnancy-associated changes were observed for the Fab glycosylation.
