-Infected Children and Adults Studied by Shotgun Glycan Microarray

. The nature of glycan epitopes recognized by antibodies in natural schistosomiasis infection serum is largely unknown. and applied this array to the analysis of IgG and IgM antibodies in sera from children and adults living in an endemic area. This resulted in the identification of differential glycan recognition profiles characteristic for the two different age groups, possibly reflecting differences in age or differences in length of exposure or infection. glycan antigens in relation to immunity
