Description
The LEctPROFILE® kit allows efficient evaluation of crude or purified glycoconjugates interactions (i.e. synthetic molecules or glycoconjugates) with lectins by a simple measurement of absorbance or fluorescence. The LEctPROFILE® kit enables a fast measurement (below 3 h) and are easily accessible to all.
Each kit is composed of a 96-well plate immobilised with the target lectin, and supplemented with the corresponding tracor and the revealing solution.
All our lectins are controlled under a standardized procedure assessed by interactions with specific neoglycoproteins or glycoproteins through GLYcoPROFILE® method.
LEctPROFILE® kits are for research use only.
Applications
LEctPROFILE® kits are designed for relevant applications such as:
1) Detection of desirable or undesirable glycans during the early stage of quality control of biotherapeutics;
2) Identification of glyco-biomarkers related to cells behaviour and/or pathology;
3) Analysis and characterisation of the glycosylation level of glycoproteins contained in biological fluids or to target the sialylation status of relevant serum biomarkers;
4) Research of antagonist for lectins of interest that are well-known to be involved in particular disorder or in biological mechanism.
How to use LEctPROFILE® kits
The evaluation of compounds interactions with lectins is possible by two different modes :
- Direct Binding to evaluate potential interaction of compounds ranging from pure molecule to complex mixtures ( glycocojugates(s), complex carbohydrates pr glycomometics). Previous labeling of target molecule(s) by biotinylation or by fluoresceinylation is required for readout.
- Competition Mode : Competitive interaction between a sample and a specific labelled tracer know to have good affinity for the lectin without preliminary labelling of sample. This mode is typically used for the evaluation of the IC50- value (concentration corresponding to 50% of lection inhibition), for the screening of potential candidates, for avidity comparison or for batch to batch monitoring.

Additionally, and under request, the customization and development of a LEctPROFILE® kit according to your needs is possible. Indeed, we have access to a large choice of lectin from natural or recombinant sources (bacterial and human) that have been already validated in our GLYcoPROFILE® plateform.
