Microbiology & Virology
GlycoMatrix™ offers to microbiologists and virologists cost effective diagnostic reagents. These lectins can be used to identify certain microorganisms isolated from a clinical specimen, including a variety of pathogens. Many viruses contain glycosylated coat proteins such as HIV, and thus, lectins can be used to detect & purify such viruses and can act to block them and stop them from infecting cells.
