Article Title: | In pursuit of an anticancer vaccine: A monomolecular construct containing multiple carbohydrate antigens |
Abstract: | The synthesis of a new type of anti-cancer vaccine candidate is presented. This compound contains the TF, Le(y), and Tn tumor antigens clustered in a monomolecular array. In addition to being a realistic mimic of 'micro-heterogeneous' mucins, this class of vaccine may trigger a multifaceted immune response convergent on a particular cancer type.
