Business methods useful for identifying, and marketing or commercializing
glycomics-related diagnostic, therapeutic and/or imaging probe products
are disclosed. Patient test samples are screened for the presence of
glycan-binding moieties to produce binding data. Binding data is
collected into a database. One or more bioinformatic algorithms are used
to process the collected binding data to identify one or more diagnostic,
therapeutic or imaging probe products. Identified products are
collaboratively or independently, marketed or commercialized. Business
methods are also provided for marketing or commercializing products for
producing oligosaccharides, reactive antibody products, and monoclonal
antibody cocktail products. Business methods of conducting
glycomics-related cancer trials are also disclosed.
