Engineered cell surfaces: fertile ground for molecular landscaping

Chem Biol. 1997 Jun;4(6):415-22. doi: 10.1016/s1074-5521(97)90193-9.

Abstract

The cell surface contains a wealth of information that determines how cells interact with their environment. Methods for directing the cell surface expression of novel protein-based and oligosaccharide-based epitopes are stimulating new directions in biotechnology and biomedical research.
