""Cell Surface Carbohydrates and Cell Development"" summarizes the current knowledge on the structure and function of cell surface carbohydrates in development and differentiation. The chapters include reviews on the expression of cell type-specific carbohydrates and their roles in cell-cell interaction. In particular, the role of cell surface carbohydrates in immune cell reponse, malignant transformation, fertilization, and neural cell development are addressed. This includes the exciting recent discovery about the role of adhesive molecules in leukocyte-endothellium interaction. This book also summarizes the latest knowledge on structure and biosynthesis of carbohydrates, the role of specific carbohydrate modification, and animal lectins. The book is intended for researchers interested in the biology of gylcoproteins and technology.
