Aberrant glycosylation of the anti-Thomsen-Friedenreich glycotope immunoglobulin G in gastric cancer patients

Figure 3 Anti-Thomsen-Friedenreich glycotope-specific IgG glycosylation profile as defined by concanavalin A, Aleuria aurantia lectin and Sambucus nigra agglutinin binding. A: Non-cancer group and cancer patients; B: Relation to the stage of cancer. The results are depicted as mean with error bars representing SEM. P values were calculated by the Mann-Whitney U test: ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs controls for all lectins. ConA: Concanavalin A; AAL: Aleuria aurantia lectin SNA: Sambucus nigra agglutinin.
