More Information
Summary:The present invention provides among others means and methods for detecting terminal GalNAc containing molecules. A preferred molecule for detecting said structures is a molecule comprising a carbohydrate binding part of MGL. In particular, the invention relates to an in vitro method for diagnosis and/or prognosis of a tumour, said method comprising the step of allowing a binding molecule specific for a terminal GalNAc residue to bind to tumour cells and detecting said binding.
