abstract = "O-glycosylation is a widely distributed posttranslational modification initiated by the addition of GalNAc to serine or threonine residues of polypeptide chains. The GalNAc may be further substituted to form linear/branched sugar chains. Some proteins, like the mucins of vertebrates, are extensively O-glycosylated and consist predominantly of carbohydrate. T antigens, which were originally designated as Thomsen-Friedenreich or TF antigens, are of particular interest in glycobiology since a high expression of the T antigen on the cell surface can be used as a glycomarker [1-3]. Due to the apparent loss of βGalactosyl-transferase, which normally converts the Tn antigen (GalNAcα1-Thr/Ser) into the T antigen (Galβ1,3GalNAcα1- Thr/Ser), the precursor Tn antigen accumulates in cancer cells (Fig. 8.1).",
