Comprehensive Functional Validation Ensures Optimal Delivery

CD BioGlyco is a glycobiology company providing various Glycan Display Arrays. Based on the Liquid Glycan Display Array (LiGA), our researchers provide a one-stop service including Construction, Modification, Quality Control, and functional validation. We have developed a wide variety of glycan-modified phage conjugates. Our analytical team has analyzed the structure and density of glycans on phage by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Based on these services, our scientists have developed a LiGA library that includes a wide variety of glycan combinations with different densities and structures. Then, we perform a functional validation for the LiGA.

At CD BioGlyco, we show multiple compounds of different glycan types with the aid of the LiGA library. Depending on the type, we offer the following two services:

• Functional integrity analysis of glycans on individual glycosylated phages

• We provide a functional integrity testing service for glycans on individual glycosylated phages via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We provide services such as mouse culture, model building, blood collection, and index analysis. Each step is optimized and performed under strict control.

• Analysis of phage clone mixtures

• We measure the composition of mixtures of phage clones by plaque-forming units (PFU). Fluorescent plaques of different colors are measured on the bacterial agar layer and provide information on the degree of binding of the associated glycan on the phage. In addition, we provide analytical services for clonal decorative phages fixed with ConA or Galectin-3 (G3C) proteins.
• We optimize inputs and washes for LiGA binding assays by PFU analysis to detect biotin-tagged proteins or detect whether LiGA mixtures contain target-binding clones. Furthermore, we identify conditions for minimizing nonspecific binding based on PFU assays and provide deep sequencing services for glycan-protein interaction studies.

Applications

• Functional validation of LiGA can be used to test proteins simultaneously with cells.
• The LiGA functional validation information plays a crucial role in the study of the molecular interactions between the polysaccharide multivalent display and the multivalent display of cell surface receptors.
