Glycans housed by a bacteriophage enable rapid identification of glycan recognition patterns

Glycans are a major composition of the cell surface that interacts with the surrounding environment. The ability to carry out glycan-binding profile studies has been mainly done with glycan arrays. However, glycan arrays are not easily adaptable for cell surface and in vivo glycan recognition assays...
