Glycan signatures for the identification of cisplatin-resistant testicular cancer cell lines: Specific glycoprofiling of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

The results suggest that one particular lectin Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) can selectively discriminate sensitive TC cell lines from resistant TC cell lines. Moreover, there are additional lectins which can provide useful information about the strength of cisplatin resistance.
