Gal-8 recognize specific strain of S. pneumoniae that express self-like antigens on the MMA. (a) MMA was incubated with Gal-8, Gal-8 N and Gal-8C at the concentrations indicated. HI: Haemophilus influenzae. Error bars represent means ± standard deviation (SD). RFU, relative fluorescence units. (b) Selected serotypes of S. pneumoniae represented on the MMA were shown with binding isotherms. Microbial glycan structures for each respective microbe are shown. Error bars represent means ± SD.
