Analytical Glycotechnology Core’s Initiative to Solicit Samples of Purified Cell Populations of the Immune System

Posing a bright example of the integration of the CFG Participating Investigators (PIs) and Scientific Cores, the Analytical Glycotechnology Core (C) has launched an exciting initiative inviting the PIs to supply purified populations of human and murine immune cells for glycomic analysis. The response to this invitation showed how important and timely this initiative was to the scientific community. The CFG Steering Committee has approved resource requests to Core C for 18 samples filling up the pipeline for over a year. It is a key objective that, wherever possible, cells provided to Core C for glycomic profiling should also be provided to Core E for Glyco-Gene chip microarray.
