[0158] 2) The reaction solutions were shaken on a shaker for 1 h.
[0159] 3) Dialysis after labeling: 125 μL of each reaction solution was injected into a mini dialysis tubing.
[0160] 4) The reaction solutions were respectively stirred 3 times in a dialysis buffer solution (300 mL×3) in the dark, and each stirring was performed for 1 h (after the last stirring, the reaction solutions were placed overnight).
[0161] 5) The samples were taken out and respectively transferred into a new centrifuge tube.
3.2 Preparation of Samples to be Analyzed
[0162] Concentration of samples to be analyzed: the 2 samples were denoted as No. 1 and No. 2 samples, respectively. The No. 1 sample referred to the S1 subunit, and the No. 2 sample referred to DC-SIGN. The above No. 1 and No. 2 samples were subjected to serial dilution to form samples at different test concentrations.
[0163] Specific dilutions were as follows: at the first dilution, the samples were diluted to a concentration of 10 μg/mL (the volume of each sample was 250 μL); at the second dilution, the samples were subjected to 1-fold dilution to a concentration of 5 μg/mL (the volume of each sample was 250 μL); at the third dilution, the samples were subjected to 1-fold dilution to a concentration of 2.5 μg/mL (the volume of each sample was 250 μL); and at the forth dilution, the samples were subjected to 1-fold dilution to a concentration of 1.25 μg/mL (the volume of each sample was 250 μL).
[0164] The corresponding arrangement of the samples at different test concentrations on an 8-subarray microarray chip is shown in Table 3.

3.3. Chip Analysis
[0165] Part I. Blocking
[0166] The microarray chip was treated in a clean and dry environment. Gloves were required when touching the surface of the chip.
[0167] Before being opened, the chip package was placed at room temperature for about 20 min. Then, the package was opened, and a chip to be used was taken out, encapsulated into a reusable pouch with a desiccant inside, and stored in a refrigerator at −20° C.
[0168] Fences for analysis were mounted on the chip. A blocking buffer solution was added to each subarray. For an 8-subarray chip (referring to a glass substrate with 8 printed sugar chain areas, which contain the same sugar chain and are used to detect 8 different samples at the same time), 200 μL of buffer solution added to each subarray.
[0169] The subarrays were sealed with a plastic film to prevent evaporation of the blocking buffer solution, and incubated on a rotary shaker (at 60 rpm) for 30 min.
[0170] Part II. Binding Experiment
[0171] The samples were centrifuged on a centrifuge to avoid increasing particles on the chip.
[0172] A pipette was carefully put at the corner of each subarray to remove the blocking buffer solution from each subarray without touching the surface of the microarray chip.
[0173] The samples to be analyzed were added to each subarray immediately. For the 8-subarray chip, 200 μL of sample was added to each subarray. The sample solution should cover the entire area of each subarray without producing air bubbles in the sample solution.
[0174] The microarray chip was sealed with a plastic film to prevent evaporation of the sample solution, and covered with aluminum foil and incubated in the dark for 1 h (on a shaker at 80 rpm).
[0175] 5) During the experiment, especially during the long incubation, the surface of the chip was prevented from being dried. A sealing effect of the plastic film should be ensured.
[0176] Part III: Final Washing and Drying
[0177] A pipette was carefully put at the corner of each subarray to take the sample from each subarray without touching the surface of the microarray chip.
[0178] A washing buffer solution was added to each subarray. For the 8-subarray chip, 200 μL of buffer solution was added to each subarray. The microarray chip was sealed with a plastic film, and incubated on a shaker (at 80 rpm) for 5 min. The washing buffer solution was removed immediately by using a pipette, and the above steps were repeated.
[0179] After the washing buffer solution was completely removed, the fences for analysis were unmounted from the chip, the glass slide was immersed in a washing buffer solution, and the chip was incubated on a shaker (at 80 rpm) for 10 min.
[0180] The glass slide was immersed in deionized water, and the chip was incubated on a shaker (at 80 rpm) for 2 min.
[0181] Before data scanning, the chip was dried in a clean and dust-free environment.

[0193] Experiments on the binding of the S1 protein (or the S1 subunit) of SARS-CoV-2 to various oligosaccharides were carried out in the present example. An MO NT. 115 microscale thermophoresis measurement instrument purchased from Nano Temper was used for detection, and experimental steps were as follows.
[0194] 1) First, the S1 protein was subjected to fluorescent labeling. In the present experiment, a Monolith™ RED-NHS 2.sup.nd generation protein labeling kit was used for labeling.
[0195] 2) A buffer solution for the S1 protein was replaced. 100 μg of S1 protein (1 mg/mL) expressed in mammalian cells was taken, the column A of the kit was used to replace the protein dissolution buffer solution with a labeling buffer solution (containing 130 mM NaHCO.sub.3 and 50 mM NaCl, pH=8.2-8.3).
[0196] 3) 25 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used to dissolve a RED-NHS dye of the kit.
[0197] 4) 5 μL of RED-NHS dye was diluted and uniformly mixed with 5 μL of labeling buffer solution.
[0198] 5) 90 μL of S1 protein was added and uniformly mixed with the fluorescent dye, and labelled in the dark at 37° C. for 30 min.
[0199] 6) The labelled protein was purified by using the column B, and 450 μL of purified protein was obtained.
[0200] 7) Oligosaccharides used in the experiment were subjected to serial dilutions with ddH.sub.2O, each oligosaccharide was diluted at 16 concentration gradients, and the initial concentration of each oligosaccharide was as follows:
[0201] sodium heparin sulfate (Heparin-Na): 83.33 μM;
[0202] sodium chondroitin sulfate (Chondroitin sulfate-Na): 40 mg/mL, 285.75 μM;
[0203] exopolysaccharide from Haloarcula hispanica (HhEPS, EPS from Haloarculahispanica): 22 mg/mL, 10 μM;
[0204] fucoidan (Fucoidan): 30 mg/mL, 60 μM;
[0205] 3-fucosyllactose (Galβ1-4(Fucα1-2)Glc, 3-FL): 1 mg/mL, 2049 μM;
[0206] 2′-fucosyllactose (Fucα1-2Galβ1-4Glc, 2′-FL): 5 mg/mL, 10.24 mM; and
[0207] nadroparin calcium (Nadroparin): 444.33 μM.
[0208] The labelled protein was mixed with the oligosaccharide solution with the same volume. Generally, 10 μL of labelled protein was mixed with 10 μL of oligosaccharide solution, and 20 μL of reaction system was obtained.
[0209] The oligosaccharide-protein mixed solutions at 16 concentration gradients were sampled by using capillaries. 7 μL of sample was taken each time, and 20 μL of reaction solution was used in three repeated experiments.
[0210] The 16 capillaries with samples were placed on the lanes of the MO NT. 115 microscale thermophoresis measurement instrument in order to be subjected to a protein-oligosaccharide binding experiment.
[0211] Dissociation constants (K.sub.d) of the binding of the S1 protein to the sugar chains were calculated from obtained data. The dissociation constants (K.sub.d) of the binding of the S1 protein to the sugar chains are shown in Table 7.
TABLE-US-00007 TABLE 7 Dissociation constants (K.sub.d) of the binding of the S1 protein to various sugar chains Sugar chain Kd (μM) Sodium heparin sulfate (Heparin-Na) 1.25 Sodium chondroitin sulfate (Chondroitin sulfate-Na) 19 Exopolysaccharide from Haloarcula hispanica (HhEPS, 3.77 EPS from Haloarculahispanica) Fucoidan (Fucoidan) 1.61 3-fucosyllactose (Galβ1-4(Fucα1-2)Glc, 3-FL) 7.1 2′-fucosyllactose (Fucα1-2Galβ1-4Glc, 2′-FL) 71 Nadroparin calcium (Nadroparin) 6.2
[0212] It can be known from the data in Table 7 that the affinity of sugar chains, such as sodium heparin sulfate, fucoidan, exopolysaccharide of Haloarcula hispanica, and 3-fucosyllactose, with the S1 protein is relatively strong, and the affinity of sodium chondroitin sulfate and 2′-fucosyllactose with the S1 protein is relatively weak.
