Abstract

Glycolipids cluster in plasma membranes to form heterogenous patches. Whereas lectins and antibodies have been conventionally viewed as binding a single oligosaccharide head group, and assayed accordingly, it is increasingly evident that cis-interactions between glycan headgroups may form unique molecular shapes that either enhance or attenuate binding of antibodies and other proteins. Herein we describe a method for assaying antibody binding to heteromeric glycolipid complexes that allows rapid, simple, inexpensive and high-throughput assessment of binding events, focusing on autoantibodies present in human serum.
