Wheat germ agglutinin binding is a useful prognostic indicator in stomach cancer
1999
Background. Recent studies suggest that lectin binding activity is correlated with the metastasis and prognosis of several human carcinomas. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) is a lectin that recognizes mainly N-acetyl-glucosamin (GalNAc) and acetyl-neuramic acid. However, little is known about WGA expression in gastric carcinoma. The purpose of this investigation was to clarify the significance of WGA expression in human gastric carcinoma.
