Abstract excerpt

In a previous study we showed that tumorigenic and invasive human uroepithelial cell lines are characterized by the presence of sialosyl Le(a) (sLe(a)) ganglioside. Our data suggested that expression of this glycolipid correlated with acquisition of the malignant phenotype by human urothelial cel...
