A method of analyzing a sample comprising: a) applying an experimental restriction to a polysaccharide contained in a sample to produce a modified polysaccharide having a signature component, b) detecting the presence of the signature component in the sample as an indication of that the polysaccharide is present in the sample, and c) determine the presence or absence of the signature component to analyze the sample; wherein the signature component is selected from deltaHNAC, 6SGHNS, 3S, 6S; deltaUH NS, 6SGH NS, 3S, 6S; deltaUH NAc, 6SGH NS, 3S; deltaUH NS, 6SGH NS, 3S; deltaU 2SH NS, 6SI 2SH NS, 6SI 2SH NS, 6SIH NAc, 6SGH NS, 3S, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6SIHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6SIHNAc, 6SGHNS, 3S, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6SGHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6SIHNAc, 6SGHNS, 3S, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6SIHNAc, 6SGMan3S, 6S; I2SHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6SIHNAc, 6SGHNS, 3S, 6S; deltaU 2SH NS, 6SI 2SH NS, 6SIH NAc, 6SGH NS, 3S, 6S; I 2SH NS, 6SI 2SH NS, 6SIH NAc, 6SGMan 3S, 6S; deltaU 2SH NS, 6SIH NAc, 6SGH NS, 3S, 6S; I 2SH NS, 6SIH NAc, 6SGH NS, 3S, 6S; deltaU 2SH NS, 6SI 2SH NS, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6SIHNS, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6SGHNS, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6SI2SMan6S; IHNAc, 6SGMan3S, 6S; HNAc, 6SGMan3S, 6S; HNS, 6SGHNS, 3S, 6SI2SHNS, 6S, OMe; HNS, 6SGHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6S, OMe; deltaUHNS, 6SI2SHNS, 6S, OMe; HNS, 6SGHNS, 6S; HNS, 6SGHNS, 3S, 6S; deltaU2SHNS, 6S, OMe; deltaU2SHNS, 6S; deltaU 2SH NS; deltaUH NS, 6S; deltaU 2SH NAc, 6S; deltaUH NS; deltaU 2SH NAc; deltaUH NAc, 6S or deltaUH NS, 3S, GS. |
