Neoplasia-related alterations in cell surface alpha(1,2)fucosylated glycans have been reported in multiple tumors including colon, pancreas, endometrium, cervix, bladder, lung and choriocarcinoma. Spontaneous colorectal tumors from mice with a germline null mutation of transforming growth factor-beta signaling gene Smad3 (Madh3) were tested for alpha(1,2)fucosylated glycan expression.
