Detection of carbohydrates on the surface of cancer and normal cells by topography and recognition imaging

Abstract

Galactose was detected and localized on the surface of cancer and normal cells by topography and recognition imaging at the single molecular level. There are more galactoses on cancer cells than on normal cells. The stability of galactose–lectin on cancer cells is much lower than that on normal cells.
