Abstract

Glycoproteins play an important role in cell signaling and cell–cell interaction. The alterations of glycoproteins are often relevant to progression of diseases, and these changed glycoproteins can be important biomarkers. The lectin-based glycoproteomic technology has extensively been used for high-throughput screening of potential glycoprotein biomarkers. Here we describe a multi-lectin affinity chromatography and label-free quantitative glycoproteomic approach for discovery of glycoprotein biomarkers relevant to differentiation of glioblastoma stem cells.
