Here we describe a glycan microarray constructed by using standard robotic microarray
printing technology to couple amine functionalized glycans to an amino-reactive glass slide.
The array comprises 200 synthetic and natural glycan sequences representing major glycan
structures of glycoproteins and glycolipids. The array has remarkable utility for profiling the
specificity of a diverse range of glycan binding proteins, including C-type lectins, siglecs,
galectins, anticarbohydrate antibodies, lectins from plants and microbes, and intact viruses.
