Abstract

A combinatorial complex carbohydrate library is provided and including a plurality of addressable complex carbohydrate structures.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method diagnosing a disease, a disorder or a condition characterized by elicitation of antibodies against a carbohydrate structure, the method comprising: 
 (a) providing an addressable carbohydrate library, wherein said addressable carbohydrate library comprises a plurality of carbohydrate structures each being attached at a specific and addressable location of a single solid support, wherein each of said plurality of carbohydrate structures is composed of monosaccharide residues, such that a stereo-specificity of each bond interconnecting said monosaccharide residues is defined by said addressable location on said single solid support;    (b) reacting the addressable carbohydrate library with antibodies derived from a patient suspected of having the disease, disorder or condition to thereby generate a pattern of locations to which the antibodies bind, such that by comparing the pattern with a known pattern a diagnosis of the disease, disorder or condition is obtainable.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of carbohydrate structures is attached to said single solid support via a linker.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said linker is selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, a peptide, a non-glycosylated protein, a lipid, a ceramide, dolicol phosphate, a cyclodextrin, an oligosaccharide, a monosaccharide, an alkyl chain and a nucleic acid.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said linker comprises at least one cyanuric chloride derivatives and an aniline group.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said single solid support is a flat platform.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein said single solid support is a chip and further wherein different carbohydrate structures of said plurality of carbohydrate structures are arranged on said chip in patches spaced not more than 2.25 mm from one another, center to center.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said single solid support is of a substance selected from the group consisting of polystyrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene, polyethylene glycol-polystyrene block copolymer, polyamides, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylamide, silica, glass, quartz, plastic and cellulose.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said plurality of carbohydrate structures comprises at least two covalently attached identical saccharide units.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said plurality of carbohydrate structures comprises at least one branch.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said plurality of carbohydrate structures comprises at least 4 saccharide units.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said plurality of carbohydrate structures comprises at least 5 saccharide units.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said plurality of carbohydrate structures comprises at least 6 saccharide units.

         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said plurality of carbohydrate structures are not naturally occurring carbohydrate structures.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said plurality of carbohydrate structures are structurally identical to naturally occurring carbohydrate structures.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said naturally occurring carbohydrate structures are present in human cells.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said naturally occurring carbohydrate structures are derived from tissue, cells and/or body fluids of a human.
