Abstract excerpt
The N-linked sugar chains of metastasizing mouse B16 melanoma cells (F1) and their wheat germ agglutinin-resistant variant (Wa4-b1) showing a dramatic decrease in metastasizing and tumorigenic potentials were liberated from their membrane glycoproteins by hydrazinolysis, and their structures were comparatively analysed. The results indicated that both cell lines contain high-mannose-type and bi-, tri- and...
