Abstract:
A method for diagnosing cancer using information on aberrant glycosylation of glycoproteins, which is related with cancer progression. More particularly, the present invention relates to a peptide marker for cancer diagnosis and a method for diagnosing cancer using the peptide marker, wherein glycoproteins aberrantly glycosylated due to cancer incidence and progression is isolated using lectin; and marker peptides generated by hydrolysis or the glycoproteins isolated by the lectin is selected and quantified.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a peptide marker for cancer diagnosis and a cancer diagnosis method using the same, more precisely to a peptide marker for cancer diagnosis screened by the following steps: separating and concentrating glycoproteins including a certain glycan chain related to the occurrence of cancer; hydrolyzing the glycoproteins to obtain polypeptides; and quantitatively analyzing the polypeptides to identify certain polypeptides that can track quantitative changes in glycoproteins glycosylated in a specific manner by the occurrence of cancer, and to a cancer diagnosis method using the said peptide marker.
