The glycosylation profile of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is known to strongly influence its plasma levels. VWF contains several carbohydrate structures, including O-linked glycans that primarily consist of sialylated T antigen (NeuAc(alpha 2-3)Gal-(beta 1-3)-[NeuAc(alpha 2-6)]GaINAc). It is not yet known whether O-linked carbohydrates affect VWF levels. We developed an immunosorbent assay based on neuraminidase incubation allowing subsequent binding of peanut agglutinin (PNA) to desialylated O-linked T antigen on VWF. An inverse relation was found between PNA binding and VWF antigen levels in healthy individuals (n = 111; Pearson rank = -0.43; P
