Summary of GlycoTech's Selectin Assays Assays used to discovery unique selectin antagonists Ligand Binding Assays for E- and P-selectin Inhibition assay using native carbohydrate structures as the target.  IC50 values are similar to KD values. Fluorescence Shift Binding Assays for E- and P-selectin Direct binding assay that determines a physical constant (KD). Highly Sensitive P-selectin Inhibition Assay Inhibition assay using synthetic polymers of ligands as the target.  This assay is highly sensitive and detects slight activities (low IC50 values). Static Cell Adhesion Assay for P-selectin A highly reproducible assay that measures the inhibition of P-selectin mediated cell adhesion in a microtiter plate format. Cell Adhesion Flow Assays for E- and P-selectin State-of-the-art assays that measures the different stages of cell adhesion under hydrodynamic flow conditions by real time digital image analysis.
