Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of characterizing glycans attached to glycoproteins is disclosed herein. The method comprises a first step of immobilizing the glycoproteins on colloidal particles forming glycoprotein/colloidal particles. The glycans on the glycoproteins may then be characterized, for example the composition and/or structure of glycans may be characterized or the glycans attached to proteins may be identified. Characterization may be accomplished by either binding the glycoprotein/colloidal particles with one or more binding agents and assessing the aggregation of the glycoprotein/colloidal particles or by cleaving glycans from the glycoprotein/colloidal particles with a cleaving agent and analyzing the glycans.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of characterizing glycans attached to glycoproteins comprising the steps of: a) spontaneously immobilizing said glycans attached to glycoproteins on colloidal particles forming glycoprotein/colloidal particles; b) optically assessing the glycoprotein/colloidal particles or measuring their size; c) aggregating said glycoprotein/colloidal particles with a binding agent forming an aggregate; d) optically assessing the aggregate or measuring…
