Generation and examples of mAb applications. (A) Simplified scheme of the standard procedure for anti-glycan mAb production. Unlike whole proteins, glycans are conjugated to a carrier molecule (typically BSA or KLH) before immunization. (B) Generated mAbs can be used in vitro to profile cell wall extracts in microarray applications or in ELISA-based methods like epitope detection chromatography providing also more structural information. (C) MAbs can be also used in situ for localization of the target molecules in situ on various types of plant material whole mount or sectioned by various methods.
