Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that cell surface carbohydrates can severly affect the metastatic potential of cancer cells (1–4). It was found that changes in the expression of carbohydrates can influence cancer cells’ bloodborne arrest and survival properties (1), their adhesive characteristics towards plastic (4), endothelial cells (1) and subendothelial matrix components (3) as well as their immunological properties (5, 6).
