Overview of diverse glycan epitopes that act as host ligands for pathogenic virus attachment and infection. The figure represent the results generated from our manual literature search highlighting the involvement of glycan structures as host ligands for major pathogenic viruses. Among these, the red highlighted boxes represent potential glycan epitope structures that was predicted to change in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, based on the transcriptomic data analysis, thus suggesting a possibility of shared features in glycan structures during viral infection that might aid in viral attachment and infection.
