Towards the Development of Antitumor Vaccines: A Synthetic Conjugate of a Tumor-Associated MUC1 Glycopeptide Antigen and a Tetanus Toxin Epitope

Proliferation of cytotoxic T-cells, a prerequisite for the development of antitumor vaccines, was induced by 1, but not by its partial structures A and B. The conjugate 1 containing a tumor-associated Sialyl-TN -MUC-1 glycopeptide antigen A and a T-cell epitope B of tetanus toxin was synthesized by fragment condensation on a solid phase.
