The Human Disease Glycomics/Proteomics Initiative (HGPI) Session at the HUPO World Congress was held in Toronto on 26 September 2009. In this report, we summarize the presentation of the HGPI workshop as follows: (i) The results of the past HGPI pilot studies (first and second) in which we analyzed N ‐ and O ‐linked glycans using standard glycoproteins ( i.e. first: N ‐linked glycan analysis of transferrin and IgG; second: O ‐linked glycan analysis of IgA). (ii) The recent progresses of the current HGPI third pilot study. The third analytical pilot study is in progress to perform the two tasks, which are glycan structural analysis and identification of proteins which carry specific carbohydrate antigen (Lewis X antigen) using cancer cells ( i.e . L428, U937, and SK‐N‐SH), under the theme of “Glyco‐Biomarker Discovery”. Finally, recently advanced glycomic and glycoproteomic analyses were also reported.
