  • Method of characterizing glycans attached to glycoproteins
    Patent number: 8962345
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2015
    Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Commerce, The National Institute of Standards and Technology
