Sulfated glycans are commonly found in glycosaminoglycans, and their diverse sulfation patterns are responsible for a wide variety of biological interactions. For example, 6-sulfo LacNAc (slan) and sulfated sialyl-Lewis X have been reported to respectively act as P-selectin ligand and L-selectin ligand in humans and mice during cell adhesion mediated by selectins involved lymphocyte homing.1,2) Here, TCI offers antibody products useful for detecting these carbohydrate ligands.
