Publication number: 20160370374Abstract: This invention relates, in part, to methods and products for the detection of cancer, such as prostate cancer or multiple myeloma. This invention also relates, in part, to methods and products for the detection of prostate disease, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This invention further relates, in part, to methods and products for the detection of specific glycans in one or more samples, such as, for example, methods whereby specific glycans are detected and their amounts analyzed. Such methods can be used to determine relative ratios and/or threshold values for the specific glycans described herein. The relative ratios and/or threshold values can be used in the methods provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2016Publication date: December 22, 2016Applicant: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Carlos Bosques, Ram Sasisekharan, Sasi Raguram

Publication number: 20120289415Abstract: The invention relates, in part, to the improved analysis of carbohydrates. In particular, the invention relates to the analysis of carbohydrates, such as N-glycans and O-glycans found on proteins and saccharides attached to lipids. Improved methods, therefore, for the study of glycosylation patterns on cells, tissue and body fluids are also provided. Information from the analysis of glycans, such as the glycosylation patterns on cells, tissues and in body fluids, can be used in diagnostic and treatment methods as well as for facilitating the study of the effects of glycosylation/altered glycosylation. Such methods are also provided. Methods are further provided to assess production processes, to assess the purity of samples containing glycoconjugates, and to select glycoconjugates with the desired glycosylation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicants: MOMENTA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Carlos Bosques, Nishla Keiser, Aravind Srinivasan, Rahul Raman, Karthik Viswanathan, Ram Sasisekharan, Pankaj Gandhe, Sasi Raguram
