Abstract excerpt
Biochemical and cytochemical analysis of Lewis lung tumor variants revealed that the low metastatic cells contained more galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine residues in a high-molecular-mass (15-20 kDa) mixed N- and O-glycan fraction than the highly metastatic ones. It was also found that the highly metastatic variant was less sensitive to macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro. The cytotoxicity against the low metastatic...
