a Glycomic analysis showing representative O- and N-glycan profiles of mucus produced by cervical epithelial cells cultured in Transwells or Cervix Chips exposed to periodic or continuous flow compared to a clinical sample of human mucus. The compound peaks are color coded to show the glycan subtypes and numbered to represent the glycan molecules structures: (#_#_#_#) format represents number of core structure type 1_number of core structure type 2_number of glycan subtype 1_number of glycan subtype 2. b Tables showing the most abundant O- and N-glycan subtypes observed in the mucus profiles of human clinical samples compared with Cervix Chips exposed to periodic or continuous flow (combined peaks) versus Transwell cultures.
