Main Results:

  • Successfully identified carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) using the microarray technique.
  • Demonstrated the expression of specific glycan residues (alpha-Man, Gal, NeuNAcalpha2,6Gal, GlcNAc) on Jurkat T-cells.
  • Quantified the binding affinity between Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc).

Conclusions:

  • Protein microarrays are effective tools for studying carbohydrate-recognition events.
  • This approach expands the utility of protein microarrays in the field of functional glycomics.
  • The findings facilitate a deeper understanding of glycan-mediated biological processes.
