High-level Cell-based GAG Array That Exceeding Your Expectations

GAGs are highly negatively charged linear polysaccharides. It consists mainly of disaccharide repeats composed of glucose or galactose and hexane-dioic acid. CD BioGlyco has developed different structures of GAG array on cells such as chondroitin sulfate (CS), dermatan sulfate (DS), heparin sulfate (HS), heparin (HP), and keratan sulfate (KS). More than 40 glycosyltransferases, epimerases, sulfotransferases, and other enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of GAGs. We provide modification services such as sulfation, N-acetylation, and differential isomerization. Meanwhile, utilizing the ability of cells to carry out GAG biosynthesis, our researchers produce and display GAG on a cell-based array and interrogate the detailed structural features required for specific biological activities.

• Design and construction service

• Our researchers use precise gene editing services to design Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. We have obtained allelic cell libraries showing different GAG characteristics by knocking out or knocking in the GAG biosynthetic enzyme genes. In addition, we provide binding specificity analysis and biosynthesis regulation evaluation of cell libraries.
• We assemble cell-based GAG arrays through cell libraries. Our researchers have years of experience in Cell-based Glycan Display Array construction to accurately help clients use engineered cells to produce different GAG structure arrays.

• High-throughput screening service

• We investigate the role of GAG features on cell binding by flow cytometry and dissect the aberrant expression of GAG epitopes on cells. The analytical service provides both genetic and biosynthetic information. In addition, we provide services on the interaction relationship between cell-based GAG array and pathogens, growth factors, and antibody proteins.

Applications of Cell-based Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Array

• Cell-based GAG array dissects the fine-binding specificity of pathogen adhesion, growth factors, and antibodies.
• Cell-based GAG library can be used for the production of recombinant proteoglycans of GAG chains with different GAG structures and GAG chains.
• Cell-based GAG array is a potential screening tool for comprehensively exploring the biological function of glycans.
