MJS BioLynx – We've Got Great Lectins for Your Cancer Research!
Changes in glycosylation patterns of specific proteins were one of the first biomarkers of cancer. They are still regularly used as a diagnostic tool and to assess the patient prognosis and response to treatment.
Examples of such glycoproteins include CEA, MUC1, MUC16 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Glyco-selective lectins have proven a useful tool for the identification of novel PSA biomarkers.
Below are two articles discussing Lectins and their use in Cancer Research:
- Plant-Derived Lectins as Potential Cancer Therapeutics and Diagnostic Tools
- Plant lectins in cancer therapeutics: Targeting apoptosis and autophagy-dependent cell death.
