<br/><br/> The human cell surface is covered with a layer of membrane-bound carbohydrate in the form of oligosaccharides linked covalently to lipids and proteins. The carbohydrate moieties of these glycolipids and glycoproteins form a network of outer surface projections that can serve as adhesion sites, i.e. receptors, for a variety of infectious agents which come into contact with the host cell.
