Synthetic Self-Adjuvanting Glycopeptide Cancer Vaccines
Due to changes in glycosyltransferase expression during tumorigenesis, the glycoproteins of cancer cells often carry highly truncated carbohydrate chains compared to those on healthy cells.

Increasing the Antigenicity of Synthetic Tumor‐Associated Carbohydrate Antigens by Targeting Toll‐Like Receptors [PDF]
AbstractSynthetic cancer vaccines: A number of fully synthetic vaccine candidates have been designed, chemically synthesized, and immunologically evaluated to establish a strategy to overcome the poor immunogenicity of tumor‐associated carbohydrates and glycopeptides and to determine the importance of Toll‐like receptor (TLR) engagement for antigenic ...

Altered Glycosylation in Progression and Management of Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer (BC) is the 10th most common malignancy worldwide, with an estimated 573,000 new cases and 213,000 deaths in 2020. Available therapeutic approaches are still unable to reduce the incidence of BC metastasis and the high mortality rates of ...

Trypsin digest of cancer cells surface stimulates anti-tumor immune response better than cancer cells themselves [PDF]
Antigens expressed on the surface of cancer cells are accessible targets for both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, and are therefore potential candidates for vaccine development.
