Fig 3. Elevation of the αGlcNAc and βGlcNAc glycoforms of MUC5AC in mucinous cysts.

Fig 3

A) The αGlcNAc glycoform of MUC5AC was higher in mucinous relative to non-mucinous cysts, and in IPMNs relative to MCNs. The WGA-reactive and SRL-reactive glycoforms were higher in mucinous cysts but not in IPMNs relative to MCNs. The HAA-reactive glycoform was on average higher in IPMNs but not statistically significantly (by t-test) due to high variability between individual levels. B) About half of the IPMNs were elevated in αGlcNAc, and most of the remaining IPMNs were elevated in βGlcNAc. The MCNs are not elevated in αGlcNAc, and about half are elevated in βGlcNAc.
