Glycosylation profiling of selected proteins in cerebrospinal fluid from Alzheimer's disease and healthy subjects
Alteration of glycosylation has been observed in several diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The study of changes in glycosylation could lead to a better understanding of mechanisms underlying these diseases and to the identification of new biomarkers. In this work the N-linked glycosylation of five target proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and healthy controls have been analyzed for the first time.
