DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TARGETING CARBOHYDRATE ANTIGENS IN CANCER
… proteins are capable of binding to specific antigens in vivo and flagging cells displaying them for destruction. Over the last two decades, numerous studies have shown that a variety of cancers alter their glycosylation patterns resulting in the extracellular presentation of tumor-associated …

Convergent Site-Selective Carbohydrate-Peptide Ligations With Dehydroalanine and Aziridine -2 -Carboxylic Acid-Containing Peptides
… by the preparation of thio-isosteres of the four tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, T N, T, STN, and 2,6-ST, as a pair of diastereoisomers at the newly formed cysteine stereocenter. This 1,4-conjugate addition ligation proceeded in high yield and with retention of alpha-anomeric configuration …

Regulation of Protective B cell Anti-Tumor Responses
The role of B cells in tumor progression is complex and often overlooked. Specifically, little is known about the extent to which the specialized populations of innate-like B-1a and B-1b cells participate in and contribute to the anti-tumor immune response. The totality of work presented in this …

Biological Evaluation Of The Vaccine Candidate Tf-Ps A1 And A One-Pot Multicomponent Coupling/cyclization For Natural Product Herbicide (±)-Thaxtomin A
… derivative of the Thomsen–Friedenreich tumor associated carbohydrate antigen has been synthesized in 11 steps utilizing a D-GalN3 acceptor carrying a pre-installed -N-hydroxysuccinimidyl moiety. The natural linkage was prepared in high selectivity employing a suitably protected …

SYNTHESIS AND STUDY OF ANTI-TUMOR VACCINES
<p>The inherent weak immune response against carbohydrate antigens has directed several novel approaches towards increasing their immunogenicity for their use as vaccine components. We hypothesized that conjugation of an L-rhamnose (Rha) moiety to a carbohydrate antigen would increase the immune …

New Carbohydrate-Based Anti-Cancer And Anti-Bacterial Vaccines
<p>The unique carbohydrates expressed on the surface of cancer, bacterial, viral and fungal cells are excellent target antigens for the design of therapeutic or preventive vaccines. However, as antigens carbohydrates have problems. First, carbohydrates usually have low immunogenicity. Second, even …
