Characterizing the glycome of the mammalian immune system
Journal Article
Haslam, S. M., Julien, S., Burchell, J. M., Monk, C. R., Ceroni, A., Garden, O. A., & Dell, A. Characterizing the glycome of the mammalian immune system. https://doi.org/10.1038/icb.2008.54

The outermost layer of all immune cells, the glycocalyx, is composed of a complex mixture of glycoproteins, glycolipids and lectins, which specifically recognize particular glycan epitopes. As the glycocalyx is the cell's primary interface with the e... Read More about Characterizing the glycome of the mammalian immune system.
