Carbohydrate receptor-mediated gene transfer to human T leukaemic cells [PDF]
The mucin-type carbohydrate Tn cryptantigen (GalNAcα1-O-Ser/Thr, where GalNAc is N-acetyl-D-galactosamine) is expressed in many carcinomas, in haemopoietic disorders including the Tn syndrome, and on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coat glycoproteins,

Tumor-associated Carbohydrate Antigens: Sialyl Lea and T/Tn Antigens in Canine Mammary Tumors [PDF]
Twenty-eight canine mammary tubulopapillary carcinomas and 14 simple adenomas were studied by immunohistochemistry for the expressions of the tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens. Sialyl Lea was detected in 71.42% of the malignant and 92.84% of the benign tumors.

Cell surface-specific N-glycan profiling in breast cancer [PDF]
Aberrant changes in specific glycans have been shown to be associated with immunosurveillance, tumorigenesis, tumor progression and metastasis. In this study, the N-glycan profiling of membrane proteins from human breast cancer cell lines and tissues was

Tobacco Mosaic Virus as a New Carrier for Tumor Associated Carbohydrate Antigens [PDF]
Tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) are being actively studied as targets for antitumor vaccine development. One serious challenge was the low immunogenecity of these antigens. Herein, we report the results of using the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) capsid as a promising carrier of a weakly immunogenic TACA, the monomeric Tn antigen. The copper(

Tumor-Associated Glycans and Immune Surveillance
Changes in cell surface glycosylation are a hallmark of the transition from normal to inflamed and neoplastic tissue. Tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) challenge our understanding of immune tolerance, while functioning as immune targets that

Chemoenzymatic Syntheses of Tumor‐Associated Carbohydrate Antigen Globo‐H and Stage‐Specific Embryonic Antigen 4 [PDF]
AbstractGangliosides have attracted much attention due to their important biological properties. Herein we report the first chemoenzymatic syntheses of two globo series of ganglioside oligosaccharides, Globo‐H 1 and stage‐specific embryonic antigen‐4 (SSEA‐4) 2.
