Antigen determination

We have working with an antibody and have a few cell lines that show the
antibody has specificity for our disease but we are still trying to define
the antigen. We have used neuramidase (sp?) to see if it is a glycolipid or
glycoprotein and it is not. We have tried incubating the cells in trypsin
and they still stain fine. We are now looking for a whole cell way to see if
it is a carbohydrate. Does anyone have a method for this without antigen
precipitation?

Thanks,
