Protocol to synthesize sequence-controlled glycooligomers for tumor targeting in mice
Abstract
Summary: Due to the higher and more rapid consumption of carbohydrates by cancer cells compared to normal cells, carbohydrates can be effectively employed as a targeted therapeutic strategy for tumor treatment. Here, we present a protocol for synthesizing sequence-controlled glycooligomers using both solution-phase and solid-phase systems. We outline detailed procedures for evaluating the safety and tumor-targeting properties of the sequence-controlled glycooligomers in vivo.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chen et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
