Interactions between the breast cancer-associated MUC1 mucins and C-type lectin characterized by optical tweezers.

Interactions between the breast cancer-associated MUC1 mucins and C-type lectin characterized by optical tweezers.

Carbohydrate-protein interactions govern many crucial processes in biological systems including cell recognition events. We have used the sensitive force probe optical tweezers to quantify the interactions occurring between MGL lectins and MUC1 carrying the cancer-associated glycan antigens mucins T...
