Integrated <i>N</i>- and <i>O</i>-Glycomics of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Cell Lines

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a dysregulated expansion of poorly differentiated myeloid cells. Although patients are usually treated effectively by chemotherapy, a high rate of relapsed or refractory disease poses a major hurdle in its treatment. Recently, several studies have pro...

description Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a dysregulated expansion of poorly differentiated myeloid cells.

Accordingly, associations have been found between specific glycan epitopes and the outcome of the disease. To advance this poorly studied field, we performed an exploratory glycomics study characterizing 21 widely used AML cell lines.
