From: Autoantibodies to aberrantly glycosylated MUC1 in early stage breast cancer are associated with a better prognosis

Figure 1

O-linked glycosylation in breast cancer and normal mammary gland and informative glycopeptides used. A, aberrant O-linked glycosylation results in the expression of Tn, STn, Core 1 and ST glycoforms, left of the dotted line. O-glycans in the normal mammary gland are mostly core2 based, right bottom. Note: core3 based glycans (top right) have not been demonstrated in the normal or malignant breast. B, Sequence of MUC1a and MUC1b showing sites of glycosylation and glycans carried.
