Glycan affinity chromatography lectins used

TABLE 3.7 Specificity of some lectins used in glycan affinity chromatography... 

Suitable pairs of protein and ligand combination for affinity chromatography are antigen-antibody, hormone-receptor, glycoprotein-lectin or enzyme-substrate/cofactor/ effector (Table 3.6). The affinity of lectins for specific carbohydrate moieties (Lis and Sharon, 1973 Barondes, 1981) has made them particularly useful for the purification of distinct groups of glycans and glycoproteins (Table 3.7).
