Abstract:ABSTRACT-Aberrant glycosylation has been recognized as hallmark of cancer. Exploiting differences in glycosylation between malignant and healthy tissues offers excellent opportunities to identify sensitive and specific cancer biomarkers. Plant lectins have demonstrated the ability to specifically agglutinate malignant transformed cells. Lectins are sugar binding proteins or glycoprotein of non-immune origin which agglutinate cells or precipitate glycol-conjugates. Some lectins shown to the anti-proliferative e… Show more
