Abstract

We have developed a panel of synthetic glycans as receptor mimics for the specific capture of influenza viruses. The glycans were printed onto commercial glass slides using a free amine at the end of a spacer to generate a small focused microarray. The microarray was evaluated for its ability to capture three different strains of influenza A virus, two H1N1, A/Brisbane/59/2007 & A/Solomon Islands/3/2006 and one H3N2 A/Aichi/2/1968. We observed excellent detection ability with some compounds exhibiting clinically relevant (10<sup>plaque forming units) limit of detection. We also tested the drug susceptibility of current antivirals, Zanamivir? and Ostelamivir? using this microarray and could determine antiviral resistance for these strains.
