Here, we present ultrastructural analyses showing that incoming HIV are captured near the lymphocyte surface in a virion-glycan-dependent manner. Biophysical analyses show that removal of either virion- or cell-associated N-glycans impairs virus-cell binding, and a similar glycan-dependent relationship is observed between purified HIV envelope (Env) and primary T cells. Trimming of N-glycans from either HIV or Env does not inhibit protein-protein interactions. Glycan arrays reveal HIV preferentially binds to N-acetylglucosamine and mannose. Interfering with these glycan-based interactions reduces HIV infectivity. These glycan interactions are distinct from previously reported glycan-lectin and non-specific electrostatic charge-based interactions. Specific glycan-glycan-mediated attachment occurs prior to virus entry and enhances efficiency of infection. Binding and fluorescent imaging data support glycan-glycan interactions as being responsible, at least in part, for initiating contact between HIV and the host cell, prior to viral Env-cellular CD4 engagement.

The antibody- FcγRIIIa interaction triggers key immunological responses such as antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), making it highly important for therapeutic mAbs. Due to the direct glycan-glycan interaction with FcγRIIIa receptor, differences in antibody glycosylation can drastically influence the binding affinity. Understanding the differential binding of mAb glycoforms is a very important, yet challenging task due to the co-existence of multiple glycoforms in a sample.

Systematic structural studies of model oligopeptides revealed important aspects of protein folding and offered design principles to access non-natural materials. In the same way, the rules that regulate glycan folding could be established by studying synthetic oligosaccharide models. However, their analysis is often limited due to the synthetic and analytical complexity.

Microaerophilic, Gram-negative Campylobacter jejuni is the causative agent of campylobacteriosis, the most common bacterial gastrointestinal infection worldwide. Adhesion is the crucial first step in both infection or interaction with the host and biofilm formation, and is a critical factor for bacterial persistence. Here we describe the proteins and other surface structures that promote adhesion to various surfaces, including abiotic surfaces, microorganisms, and animal and human hosts.

Prior to receptor engagement, a specific, non-electrostatic glycan-glycan interaction between viral particles and host cells may lengthen the dwell time of the virus at the cellular surface, thereby facilitating subsequent virus entry. Here, we present a protocol for quantifying the level of glycan-mediated binding between virus or virus-like-particles and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using a nanoluciferase reporter system. We describe steps for virus production, isolation of PBMCs, and performing a nanoluciferase binding assay.
