A sensitive and high-throughput method for glycan profiling is the lectin microarray. Glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) known as lectins can interact with glycan molecules in a specific way. The specified lectins are immobilized onto a solid phase that has been chemically (epoxy, NHS ester, for example) or biologically (streptavidin, for example) activated. A glycoprotein will attach […]
