Solid-phase binding of EPS from H. japonica strain SST1 to human lectins. EPS produced with different single sugars was tested for binding to DC-SIGN, Langerin, MGL, and MR in calcium-containing buffer using Fc-tagged lectins. Detection was performed via HRP–TMB reaction and OD450 measurement. Results in the table are shown as % binding relative to positive glycan-PAA controls. Data are mean ± SD from duplicate experiments. **** = p ≤ 0.0001; ns = p > 0.05.
