| Summary: | The development of analytical technologies to investigate the glycoproteome of clinical relevant samples has improved over the last 10 years. These new developments aim to improve the identification and quantification of disease-specific glyco-biomarkers, which are present at low amounts in biological matrices. Glyco-biomakers have the potential to significantly contribute to cancer discovery studies in specific areas such as; early diagnosis, prognosis, monitor cancer recurrence and improve the low survival rate of cancer. In this thesis, we focused on the development and application of novel liquid affinity chromatography fractionation platforms integrated with nano-LC-MS/MS to characterize and quantify the glycoproteome as well as selected glyco-biomarker candidates of cancer samples. |
