Products of Chemoenzymatic Synthesis Representing MUC1 Tandem Repeat Unit with T-, ST- or STn-antigen Revealed Distinct Specificities of Anti-MUC1 Antibodies [PDF]
AbstractAnti-mucin1 (MUC1) antibodies have long been used clinically in cancer diagnosis and therapy and specific bindings of some of them are known to be dependent on the differential glycosylation of MUC1. However, a systematic comparison of the binding specificities of anti-MUC1 antibodies was not previously conducted.

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti-Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential. [PDF]
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

Comprehensive Profiling Reveals Sialyl-Tn Upregulation and Prognostic Value in Prostate Cancer. [PDF]
This study utilises a novel antibody (L2A5) to comprehensively monitor sialyl‐Tn antigen (sTn) expression levels in clinical prostate cancer tissues. We reveal sTn is expressed in 44% of prostate tumours and find prostate cancer patients with high sTn levels have significantly poorer survival times.

The androgen receptor controls expression of the cancer-associated sTn antigen and cell adhesion through induction of ST6GalNAc1 in prostate cancer [PDF]
Patterns of glycosylation are important in cancer, but the molecular mechanisms that drive changes are often poorly understood. The androgen receptor drives prostate cancer (PCa) development and progression to lethal metastatic castration-resistant disease. Here we used RNA-Seq coupled with bioinformatic analyses of androgen-receptor (AR) binding sites

Sialyl-Tn expression correlates with reduced c-Myc and immune modulation in triple negative breast cancer [PDF]
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive, heterogeneous cancer with lack of targeted therapies. The cancer-associated sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen has a significant role in cancer, yet its involvement in TNBC remains unexplored.

Phage Display Reveals VLRB-Mediated Recognition of Minimal Tumor Glycan Antigen Sialyl-Tn [PDF]
Sialyl-Tn (sTn) is a tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA) abundantly expressed by various types of carcinomas. While conventional antibody-based platforms have traditionally been used for the detection and targeting of sTn, alternative binding ...

Pan-carcinoma sialyl-Tn-targeting expands CAR therapy to solid tumors [PDF]
Summary: Accurate identification of tumor-specific markers is vital for developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies. While cell surface antigens are seldom cancer-restricted, their post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly ...

An in vitro approach for simulating divergent Golgi O-glycosylation of tumor-associated MUC1 from normal MUC1 [PDF]
Peptide O-glycosylation relies on the coordinated action of glycosyltransferases across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. However, the molecular mechanisms driving aberrant glycosylation in cancer remain poorly understood.

Localisation of the Ki-67 antigen within the nucleolus: Evidence for a fibrillarin-deficient region of the dense fibrillar component [PDF]
The Ki-67 antigen is detected in proliferating cells in all phases of the cell division cycle. Throughout most of interphase, the Ki-67 antigen is localised within the nucleolus.
