Abstract excerpt
The repertoire of oligosaccharide components of cellular glycoproteins significantly contributes to cell adhesion and communication. In tumor cells, alteration in cellular glycosylation may play a key role in giving rise to invasive and metastatic potential. Over 100 melanoma cell lines deposited in the ESTDAB Melanoma Cell Bank (Tubingen, Germany) were studied for the characteristic glycan composition related to...
