As a part of our glycoantigen synthetic program for diagnosis and basic analysis of yeast-related pathogenic mechanisms, a library of 1-->2 oligomannosides suitable for immunoanalysis was prepared. The use of biotin sulfone, an oxidized form of biotin, offers a convenient solution for both oligosaccharide synthesis and immobilization on microspheres and surface plasmon resonance sensors. The application of this new strategy for the analysis of anti- Candida albicans antibody response through multiple-analyte profiling technology (Luminex) and with surface plasmonic analysis using biotin tagged synthetic oligosaccharides on avidin coated surfaces was validated using monoclonal antibodies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
