متن کاملGlycosphingolipids in human colonic adenocarcinoma.
Glycosphingolipids were analyzed from colonic tumors and histologically normal adjacent tissues, obtained at surgery from eight patients. Detailed analysis was carried out on six neutral glycolipids from normal colonic mucosa and cancerous tissues. Their structures were established by permethylation, use of glycosidases, and immunological methods. In the cancerous tissues, lactosylceramide was ...
