  • Title: Glycoform-Specific Visualization in Immunohistochemistry by "Lectin Inhibition".
    Author: Ito H, Hoshi K, Hashimoto Y, Honda T.
    Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2020; 2132():173-181. PubMed ID: 32306326.
    Abstract:
    Antibodies are useful for localizing glycoprotein antigens in histochemistry, but they do not differentiate glycoforms in tissue sections because conventional antibodies recognize only protein epitopes rather than glycans. Glycan epitopes are recognized by lectins, which are found, occasionally, to inhibit antigen-antibody reaction in a glycoform-specific manner (lectin inhibition). Here we describe the application of lectin inhibition to immunohistochemistry for visualizing a glycoform in a tissue section.
