Glycoprotein microarrays are useful tools in HIV glycobiology
September 8th, 2004
Oligosaccharide and glycoprotein microarrays are useful tools in HIV glycobiology. According to recent research from the United States, "Defining HIV envelope glycoprotein interactions with host factors or binding partners advances our understanding of the infectious process and provides a basis for the design of vaccines and agents that interfere with HIV entry. Here we employ carbohydrate and glycoprotein microarrays to analyze glycan-dependent gp120-protein interactions. In concert with new linking chemistries and synthetic methods, the carbohydrate arrays combine the advantages of microarray technology with the flexibility and precision afforded by organic...
