Coexpression of MUC1 mucin peptide core and the thomsen-friedenreich antigen in colorectal neoplasms

Abstract

TF antigen is strongly coexpressed with MUC1 mucin peptide core in the colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence, resulting in well- and moderately differentiated carcinomas. Only in mucinous carcinomas may it be coexpressed with MUC2 antigen.
