Automated glycopeptide analysis--review of current state and future directions.

abstract：:Cell lines are widely used as in vitro models of tumorigenesis. However, an increasing number of researchers have found that cell lines differ from their sourced tumour samples after long-term cell culture. The application of unsuitable cell lines in experiments will affect the experimental accuracy and the treatment ...
