Abrégé

The present invention includes a multivalent glycan microarray for detection of glycan-binding proteins. The multivalent glycan microarray allows a multivalent presentation of glycan on a microarray substrate, which can enhance binding of the glycan binding protein to the glycan microarray. The multivalent microarray includes a solid substrate having one or more branched polymers bonded to it via one or more silane-based linker reagents. The branched polymer in turn is bonded to a glycan, via one or more bifunctional linkers to form the multivalent glycan microarray. Nonspecific binding of glycan binding proteins to the multivalent glycan microarray can be reduced by using a blocking reagent coated on to the microarray substrate, which includes a polyethylene glycol surfactant attached to the solid substrate via a self-crosslinking azido-functionalized silane. Methods for making multivalent glycan microarrays and methods for using same to detect glycan-binding proteins are also disclosed.
