This study presents a novel atomic force microscopy method to visualize individual antibody glycosylation patterns. This technique maps lectin binding sites alongside topography for detailed glycan analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Glycobiology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Antibody glycosylation is crucial for immune function and therapeutic efficacy.
  • Detailed imaging of individual antibody glycostates remains challenging.
  • Current methods often lack spatial resolution or require sample labeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a high-resolution imaging technique for individual antibody glycosylation.
  • To simultaneously map antibody topography and lectin binding sites.
  • To provide insights into glycan heterogeneity at the single-molecule level.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a lectin-modified probe.
  • Developed an image acquisition system for simultaneous topography and lectin binding data.
