The analysis of the expression of β1,6 GlcNAc branched N-glycans (detected by lectin phytohemagglutinin- L-PHA), and O-mannosyl glycans (evaluated by Con A lectin after removal of N-linked glycans) on E-cadherin showed that E-cadherin from MKN28 is modified with both glycans, whereas E-cadherin from a poorly-differentiated gastric cancer phenotype (Kato III) mainly exhibited positive reactivity to L-PHA lectin (Supplementary Figure S2A). The gene discussed is CDH1; the disease is gastric cancer.
