synthetic construct |

Homo sapiens |
Experiment type |
Protein profiling by protein array

Summary |
The immunomodulatory mycobacterial surface antigen lipoarabinomannan (LAM) with its immunogenic glycan component arabinomannan (AM) facilitates Mycobacterium tuberculosis’ (Mtb) escape from the host’s immune response. Some but not all antibodies against AM can protect against TB. To better understand which of AM’s structures to target, we must first identify the spectrum of its epitopes. We here used synthetic AM oligosaccharide motifs to deplete sera from subjects along the spectrum of Mtb infection. Performing cluster analysis, we were able to predict AM’s immunogenic structures and delineate how antibody reactivity to them is influenced by Mtb infection states.
