碳水化合物在产生结构和免疫多样性方面有很大的潜力。微生物病原体通常用特定的碳水化合物标记装饰它们的最外表面。碳水化合物抗原与蛋白质抗原在物理化学性质上也有很大的不同,特别是在水溶液中抗原决定簇的表面显示方面。当我们应用基于蛋白质的酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)的标准程序来评估具有免疫效力的碳水化合物时,通常需要进行技术优化或修改。在这里,我们介绍了我们进行碳水化合物ELISA的实验室方案,并讨论了几个可以互补应用的检测平台,以探索对宿主免疫识别和诱导糖特异性抗体反应至关重要的碳水化合物部分。
Carbohydrates have a great potential in generating structural and immunological diversities. Microbial pathogens often decorate their outmost surfaces with specific carbohydrate signatures. Carbohydrate antigens also differ significantly from protein antigens in physiochemical properties, especially in surface display of antigenic determinants in aqueous solutions. Technical optimization or modifications are often needed when we apply standard procedures for protein-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to assess immunologically potent carbohydrates. We present here our laboratory protocols for performing carbohydrate ELISA and discuss several assay platforms that may be applied complementarily to explore the carbohydrate moieties that are critical for host immune recognition and induction of glycan-specific antibody responses.
