Fig. 1. A systematic approach combining negative-ion ESI-HCD-MS/MS sequencing and a glycan microarray to characterize the differential recognition of oligomannose isomers.

Fig. 1

Oligomannose glycans are analyzed by ESI-HCD-MS/MS, which produces diagnostic fragmentations that can be used to characterize isomeric glycan structures. These glycans are also used in fabrication of a sequence-defined oligomannose array subsequent to conjugation with amine-functionalized linkers. Proteins involved in innate and adaptive immunity are interrogated on the microarray, leading to unique binding specificities, reflecting the differential recognition of oligomannose isomers.
