Illustration of glycan structures on the surface of EVs. EVs display various glycoconjugates and alterations of glycan structures are commonly seen in cancers. The CRD (carbohydrate recognition domain) of lectin binds to specific glycans (Herein, GPI = glycosylphosphatidylinositol, sT = sialyl T, sTn = sialyl Tn, sLex = sialyl-Lewis x, and sLea = sialyl-Lewis a)
