My innate immune system is here for chewing gum and binding viral glycans, and I’m all out of specific lectins.
Looks like this works by apparently binding complex N-glycans on the viral envelope. I can’t imagine this is particularly specific, but the good news is that in the mucosa, you should see relatively few N-glycans, so I guess it will hit the right stuff?
