Article Synopsis
- - Fluorescently labeled (strept)avidins are commonly used to detect biotinylated molecules in immunology and histochemistry, but they can also bind to various glycans, including components of blood group antigens and other oligosaccharides.
- - This binding occurs in a dose-dependent manner, meaning that the presence of certain polymeric glycan conjugates can inhibit this interaction, but monomeric forms do not have the same effect.
- - The ability of (strept)avidins to bind glycans may lead to inaccuracies in carbohydrate sample analysis, suggesting that researchers should avoid using excessive amounts of (strept)avidin in their experiments to minimize these errors.
