Glycan arrays have been used to characterize previously unknown biochemical interactions. For example, photo-generated glycan arrays have been used to characterize the immunogenic properties of a tetrasaccharide found on the surface of [[anthrax]] spores.<ref name="Anthrax">{{cite journal|vauthors=Wang D, Carroll GT, Turro NJ, Koberstein JT, Kováč P, Saksena R, Adamo R, Herzenberg LA, Herzenberg LA, Steinman L|title=Photogenerated glycan arrays identify immunogenic sugar moieties of Bacillus anthracis exosporium|journal=Proteomics|date=2007|volume=7|pages=180–184|doi=10.1002/pmic.200600478}}</ref> Hence, glycan array technology can be used to study the specificity of [[host-pathogen interactions]].
The glycan array technology has been and still is applied to study the specificity of [[host-pathogen interactions]].
