Specificity of IgG and IgE antibodies against plant and insect glycoprotein glycans determined with artificial glycoforms of human transferrin.
description:
The epitope is part of the N-glycan of several glycoproteins. A representative example is given.
The mAb reacted with the epitope when expressed artificially on human transferrin in an in vitro expression system. This reactivity was observed in Western blot, direct ELISA, and competitive ELISA. The mAb also reacted with the similar glycan MMF (without xylose and with fucose) and the two epitopes compete each other, while the structure MM, lacking both, is poorly recognized, implying that both fucose and xylose are important for recognition. The fucose residue seems to confer higher affinity.
