|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Δ (%) | Δ B (%) | Δ C (%) | Δ (%) | |
| Hex3NAc4Fuc1 | 109.67 | 71.27 | 106.06 | −44.71 |
| Hex4NAc4Fuc1 | 10.88 | 11.13 | 6.89 | −46.68 |
| Hex5NAc4Fuc1 | -27.95 | -22.66 | -38.54 | -44.18 |
Δ > 0 means upregulated in cancer and is roughly the percentage difference on the raw scale. Δ B and Δ C are the differences from borderline tumor patients and cancer patients, respectively, to normal subjects. See Section 4.
