Structural characterization of human colorectal mucins O-glycans. MALDI-MS spectra, acquired in the positive ion mode [M + Na]+ (or [M + 2Na-H]+ for sulfated species), of human intestinal permethylated O-glycans from mucins purified from (A) healthy colon controls; (B) resection margins; (C) paired tumoral tissue. Monosaccharide symbols according to the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG) nomenclature. Key: fucose (red triangle), GlcNAc (blue square), sialic acid (purple diamond), galactose (yellow circle), GalNAcol (yellow square), and sulfate residue (S).
