Abstract excerpt
T cell surface sialylation changes during maturation in the thymus. We have previously demonstrated increased expression of mRNA encoding the Gal beta 1, 3GalNAc alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase in mature medullary human thymocytes, compared with immature cortical thymocytes. For this enzyme, increased expression of transferase mRNA correlated with increased sialylation of O-glycans. We have now examined the pattern...
