Decreased Levels of Bisecting GlcNAc Glycoforms of IgG Are Associated with Human Longevity
7 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Markers for longevity that reflect the health condition and predict healthy aging are extremely scarce. Such markers are, however, valuable in aging research. It has been shown previously that the N-glycosylation pattern of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is age-dependent. Here we investigate whether N-linked glycans reflect early features of human longevity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The Leiden...
