Fucosyltransferase-producing sialyl Lea and sialyl Lex carbohydrate antigen in benign and malignant gastrointestinal mucosa

Abstract

The expression of sialyl Le(a) and sialyl Le(x) antigens in the stomach and the colon was not controlled solely by fucosyltransferases but by a more complicated system involving other glycosyltransferases.
