Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) has a glycophenotype of aberrant sialylation and/or fucosylation. The CF glycophenotype is expressed on membrane glycoconjugates of CF airway epithelial cells as increased fucosyl residues in alpha1,3/4 linkage to N-acetyl glucosamine, decreased fucosyl residues in alpha1,2 linkage to galactose and decreased sialic acid. To define the cause of this phenotype, the enzyme activity of...
