Figure Lengend Snippet: Glycan Array Analysis of AgRP Binding to Heparan Sulfate Oligosaccharides (A) Fluorescent image of the glass slide glycan arrays showing fluorescence signals (green dots) of AgRP binding to 52 immobilized heparan sulfate oligosaccharides (low-molecular-weight heparan sulfate, LMHS). (B) Bar graph showing the relative fluorescence intensity of AgRP binding to the heparan sulfate oligosaccharides arrays. Heparan sulfate oligosaccharides 22 and 41 show the highest intensity. (C) The structures of the different heparan sulfate oligosaccharides on the slide microarray in A. Data are represented as mean ± SEM.
Article Snippet: The washed arrays were dried by centrifugation and immediately scanned for green fluorescence using an InnoScan confocal microarray scanner (Innopsys, Carbonne, France).
