ST3Gal.I sialyltransferase relevance in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines
Videira, Paula A.; Correia, Manuela; Malagolini, Nadia; Crespo, Hélio J.; Ligeiro, Dário; Calais, Fernando M.; Trindade, Helder; Dall'Olio, FabioBackground: The T antigen is a tumor-associated structure whose sialylated form (the sialyl-T antigen) involves the altered expression of sialyltransferases and has been related with worse prognosis.

Methods: Matched samples of uro...
