Novel lamprey antibody recognizes terminal sulfated galactose epitopes on mammalian glycoproteins

Abstract

McKitrick et al engineer and characterize a novel lamprey antibody that recognizes terminal sulfated galactose epitopes on mammalian glycoproteins. This provides a new tool for the exploration of glycoprotein sulfation in mammalian cells, which could aid in the understanding of its functional role and potentially lead to identification of disease biomarkers.
