Multiplexed bead array is an application that allows us to quantify multiple ligands simultaneously by using flow cytometry. Glycopeptides are immobilized on multiplexed beads, and the glycan-binding specificities of several lectins are determined. This strategy is easy, rapid, and suitable for small amount of samples, and allows the reliable elucidation under the identical condition. Such a technology is useful for analyzing characteristics and functions of lectins.
