MUC1 glycopeptide epitopes predicted by computational glycomics
Bioinformatic tools and databases for glycobiology and glycomics research are playing increasingly important roles in functional studies. However, to verify hypotheses generated by computational glycomics with empirical functional assays is only an emerging field. In this study, we predicted glycan epitopes expressed by a cancer-derived mucin, MUC1, by computational glycomics. MUC1 is expressed...
متن کاملTumor-associated MUC1 glycopeptide epitopes are not subject to self-tolerance and improve responses to MUC1 peptide epitopes in MUC1 transgenic mice.
Human adenocarcinomas overexpress a hypoglycosylated, tumor-associated form of the mucin-like glycoprotein MUC1 containing abnormal mono- and disaccharide antigens, such as Tn, sialyl-Tn, and TF, as well as stretches of unglycosylated protein backbone in the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region. Both peptide and glycopeptide epitopes generated from the VNTR are candidates for cancer ...
متن کاملAntibody recognition of fluorinated MUC1 glycopeptide antigens.
The syntheses of various fluorinated MUC1 glycopeptide antigens and their specific binding to serum antibodies from mice immunized with natural and fluorinated TF(6)-MUC1-TTox conjugate vaccines are presented.
متن کاملCompatibility of B-Sheets with Epitopes Predicted by Immunoinformatic in Human IgG
Background & Aims: Antibodies, well-known as immunoglobulins (Igs), are produced by B lymphocytes and specifically defend against pathogens. Igs are glycoproteins and have high diagnostic value in several diseases including infections (1). Igs are composed of light and heavy chains (2, 3). Each chain is comprised of about 110-120 amino acid residues which create immunoglobulin folds named domai...
متن کاملImmunological Evaluation of Recent MUC1 Glycopeptide Cancer Vaccines
Aberrantly glycosylated mucin 1 (MUC1) is a recognized tumor-specific antigen on epithelial cell tumors. A wide variety of MUC1 glycopeptide anti-cancer vaccines have been formulated by many research groups. Some researchers have used MUC1 alone as an immunogen whereas other groups used different antigenic carrier proteins such as bovine serum albumin or keyhole limpet hemocyanin for conjugatio...
