TABLE 4.
Immunoassays (ELISA) | Very sensitive and specific, but measures protein level but not sensitive to glycan structure |
CE-based assays | Specific for separation and profiling of glycans |
Lectin-FLISA | Specific for target glycoproteins and can detect changes in glycan structures |
2-D gels/lectin analysis | Can monitor global changes in the proteome for large number of proteins |
