Methods currently in use include non-covalent binding of underivatized carbohydrate antigens by passive adsorption on a chip, such as nitrocellulose-coated glass slides (Wang et al. For example, the method of nitrocellulose-based immobilization of carbohydratecontaining macromolecules, including polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids, is suitable for the high-throughput construction of carbohydrate antigen microarrays (Wang et al. A high-precision robot designed to produce cDNA microarrays is utilized to spot carbohydrate antigens of various structural configurations onto a nitrocellulose-coated glass slide. Given the structural diversity of carbohydrate antigens, examining each antigen preparation to determine the efficacy of its immobilization in a given type of substrate and the surface display of the desired glyco-epitopes in a microarray assay is essential. ./cache/cord-018469-3ip6566z.txt ./txt/cord-018469-3ip6566z.txt
