Abstract Using photogenerated glycan arrays, we characterized a large panel of synthetic carbohydrates for their antigenic reactivities with pathogen‐specific antibodies. We discovered that rabbit IgG antibodies elicited by Bacillus anthracis spores specifically recognize tetrasaccharide chain decorates the outermost surfaces B. exosporium. Since this sugar moiety is highly specific , it appears to be key biomarker detection and development novel vaccines target anthrax spores.
