Tumor-associated Tn and STn antigens: from molecular mechanism to precision diagnosis and treatment [PDF]
BackgroundAbnormal protein glycosylation is a key feature of tumors. Among the modifications, Tn antigen (GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr) and its sialylated derivative, STn antigen (Neu5Acα2-6GalNAcα1-O-Ser/Thr), are prominent tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens ...

Glycomics in Human Diseases and Its Emerging Role in Biomarker Discovery [PDF]
Glycosylation, the enzymatic addition of glycans to proteins and lipids, is a critical post-translational modification that influences protein folding, stability, trafficking, immune modulation, and cell signaling.

Cancer Vaccines Based on Fluorine-Modified KH-1 Elicit Robust Immune Response
KH-1 is a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA), which serves as a valuable target of antitumor vaccines for cancer immunotherapies. However, most TACAs are thymus-independent antigens (TD-Ag), and they tend to induce immunological tolerance ...

Glycoconjugate Nanoparticle-Based Systems in Cancer Immunotherapy: Novel Designs and Recent Updates
For many years, cell-surface glycans (in particular, Tumor-Associated Carbohydrate Antigens, TACAs) have been the target of both passive and active anticancer immunotherapeutic design.

DNA Methylation of the ABO Promoter Underlies Loss of ABO Allelic Expression in a Significant Proportion of Leukemic Patients [PDF]
Background: Loss of A, B and H antigens from the red blood cells of patients with myeloid malignancies is a frequent occurrence. Previously, we have reported alterations in ABH antigens on the red blood cells of 55% of patients with myeloid malignancies.

Tumor markers in pleural effusion caused by bronchogenic carcinoma and tuberculosis [PDF]
Concentrations of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbon hydrate antigen (CA) 50 were measured in pleural effusion and sera of 57 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma and in 73 patients in whom the effusion was the sequelae of tuberculosis pleurisy ...

A bispecific, crosslinking lectibody activates cytotoxic T cells and induces cancer cell death
Background Aberrant glycosylation patterns play a crucial role in the development of cancer cells as they promote tumor growth and aggressiveness. Lectins recognize carbohydrate antigens attached to proteins and lipids on cell surfaces and represent ...
