RESUMO

Protein glycosylation is a crucial factor that must be evaluated in biological pharmaceuticals. The glycoform profile of a protein can vary depending on the conditions of the cultivation, purification process, and the selection of a host cell. Lectin microarrays are reliable bioanalytical methods used in the early phases of bioprocesses for the detection of glycosylation. The concept of a fully automated glycan detection with a bead array has been previously reported; however, no simple system has been constructed on fluorescence-based detection using a microarray. Here, we present a fully automated detection system equipped with a novel fluorescence detector for a 13-lectin bead array with a single tip. The lattice-like arrangement of a set of fibers proximate to the tip of the light emitting diode and photomultiplier tube detector minimized the noise caused by the reflection of incident light on the plastic capillary tip and bead. A unique rolling-circle fiber unit with quadruple lattices stacked in two layers realizes the 8-parallel automeasurement with a drastic reduction in scanning time and machine size. The 8-glycan profiles obtained automatically within 25 min were identical with those obtained with the conventional lectin microarray after overnight incubation. The signals obtained were represented as lectin dotcodes. Therefore, autolectin dotcoding assisted by the twin 8 legs named as "detection and irradiation octopuses" may be a rapid glyco-evaluation system during the production and development of biopharmaceuticals.

RESUMO

The geneLEAD VIII is a fully-automated nucleic acid extraction/quantitative PCR equipment developed by Precision System Science Co., Ltd., (PSS). To take advantage of its capability, we developed a quantitative assay system to measure growth of animal viruses. The system was used to assay one of the Chinese herbal extracts whose anti-malarial activities were previously reported and demonstrated its dose-dependent anti-viral activity against feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), a feline coronavirus causing the fatal diseases in cats, and relatively low cell toxicity. The assay developed in this study is useful to screen antiviral drugs and the anti-FIPV activity of the herbal extract identified have a potential to lead to development of new drugs against FIPV and other coronaviruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

RESUMO

Lectin is a biomolecule that recognizes a specific part of glycans and, thus, has been used widely as a probe for glycoprotein analysis. Owing to the wide repertoire in nature combined with the recent two decades of advances in microarray technology, the multiplexed use of lectins has been widely used for glycan profiling of endogenous proteins. Because protein glycosylation is recognized as being biologically important and is expected to be a reliable disease marker, lectin microarray analysis with highly sensitive detection has been used to discover disease-relevant glycosylation alterations. However, the conventional system is limited to research purposes; thus, its implementation in clinical settings is warranted. Here, we provide an automatic glycan profiling method using GlycoBIST. A unique array format is used for 10-plexed lectin-glycoprotein interaction analysis on 1-mm-sized beads, which are arranged vertically in a capillary-shaped plastic tip. Using a one-boxed autopipetting machine, the whole process (including interaction, washing, and detection) is performed automatically and serially, resulting in reproducible measurements. In this article, a typical method for glycan profiling of a purified glycoprotein and the fabrication of GlycoBIST tips is explained. © 2020 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

RESUMO

A quantitative description of glyco-alteration/differences in diseases can lead to the development of a diagnostic agent for use in vitro to monitor the degree of change in target glycoproteins. Analytical systems have been developed along with the progress of omics-oriented technologies. For clinical implementation, their full automation is required with an apparatus that is simple to operate. Here, we report an automatic analysis system for quantitative characterization of glyco-alteration/differences that depends on the unique strategy of "bead arrays in a single tip." The alternative lectin array can obtain a minimum characterization of the glycan profile for nanogram quantities of an endogenous glycoprotein. A simple autopipetting robot produces the precise chemiluminescence detection of glycan-lectin interactions with a wide dynamic range that is superior to fluorescence-based lectin arrays. The tip-based array format enables automatic glycan profiling from sample pretreatment to detection with low variation and linear detection, which may facilitate the use of this lectin array in clinical practice.
