Abstract: Aberrant glycosylation is frequently found in cancer, and efforts for biomarker discovery include the preparation of aberrant glycoproteins as promising analytes. Several lectins that bind to aberrant glycans and can be thus used to capture and enrich aberrant glycoproteins in the frontal stage during biomarker discovery are to be introduced.
