Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A spoonful of sugar ... A carbohydrate-based fully synthetic vaccine 1, composed of a tumor-associated Tn antigen, a peptide Tepitope, and a lipopeptide (see structure), shows potential as a candidate against cancer. Incorporation of the glycolipopeptide into liposomes gave a formulation that was able to elicit a T cell dependent antibody response in mice.
