The former is HIV-1 specific; the latter is broadly reactive and is able to neutralize viruses of distinct phylogenetic origins, such as HIV-1, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). One intriguing question is whether human viruses of distinct phylogenetic origins, such as HIV-1 and SARS-CoV, may display conserved glycan targets that are suitable for broad virus neutralization. Subsequently, we performed a comparative carbohydrate microarray analysis to characterize the glycan-binding profiles of 2G12 and GNA and to pinpoint specific glyco-epitopes they recognize. To support exploration of the potential GNA glyco-epitopes in this study, we produced a set of comprehensive antigen microarrays, which include a large-panel of carbohydrates, lipids/liposomes, and protein antigens (Supplementary Table S1 ). Using carbohydrate microarrays and ELISA-based viral glycan-profiling analysis, we characterized two broadly HIV-neutralizing agents, human monoclonal antibody 2G12 and lectin GNA. ./cache/cord-283127-jetmocvk.txt ./txt/cord-283127-jetmocvk.txt
