The application discloses a fucose glycoprotein detection kit, a preparation method thereof and a fucose glycoprotein color developing method. First, a liquid sample is dropped on the surface of the kit, and the sample and test paper are infiltrated through a sample inlet. Under the action of transverse flow force, the sample flows to an observation window along a hydrophilic test paper. The glycoprotein containing alpha 1,2-fucose in the sample is combined with agglutinin 1, and the rest of the sample continues to flow to the next layer of test paper. Then, the glycoprotein containing alpha 1,3-fucose is combined with agglutinin 2, and the rest of the sample flows to the third layer and is combined with agglutinin 3 containing alpha 1,6-fucose glycoprotein. All the combined fucose glycoproteins are combined with agglutinin biotin through their antibodies, and horseradish peroxidase is used for labeling color development, so that quantitative detection of the fucose glycoprotein in the sample is realized. The method has important significance for studying the changes of different connection fucose glycoproteins in cells and body fluids in diseases.

The invention provides a method for treating a viral infection in a subject in need thereof by administering an effective amount of lectin-binding carbohydrates to the subject.

Processes for producing and purifying recombinant proteins are disclosed. In particular, the present disclosure provides processes of producing and purifying multi-subunit proteins expressed in yeast or filamentous fungal cells. The production and / or purification of such proteins are monitored for impurities, preferably using lectin binding assays, such that one or more process parameters may be adjusted to maximize the amount of desired recombinant protein and minimize the amount of glycosylated impurities. The processes can also be monitored for other undesired product-associated impurities, such as aggregates and nucleic acids. In exemplary embodiments, the recombinant proteins are multi-subunit proteins, such as antibodies, the host cell is a yeast, such as Pichia pastoris, and the glycosylated impurity is a glycovariant of the desired recombinant polypeptide, such as an N-linked and / or O-linked glycovariant.
