Abstract
The invention provides, inter alia, multilayer films of alternating layers of a glycosylated polymer (e.g. a mucin) and a lectin, as well as methods of making and using these films. The films can be adapted for, inter alia, delivery of a biologically active agent providing a non-toxic substrate to support cell growth, replication, and/or maintenance as well as detecting a microorganism and/or reducing microorganism adherence to a surface.
