Ed. 2005, 44, 7624–7630 blood groups,[3] indicating that not only the saccharide, but also the peptide sequence, contributed to the recognized epitope. From this observation we inferred that apart from tumor-associated saccharides, tumor-selective peptide structural elements are required to render an antigen sufficiently tumor-selective.Structural leads for the design of tumor-selective glycopeptide antigens are obtained from analyses of the tumorassociated epithelial mucin MUC1,[4] which is extensively over-expressed on tumor cells. The extracellular portion of MUC1 contains numerous repeating units of the amino acid sequence HGVTSAPDTRPAPGSTAPPA.[5] Most O-glycosylation sites are located within these tandem repeats. Owing to the down-regulation of a glucosaminyl transferase (C-2GnT-1) and the concomitant overexpression of sialyl transferases,[6] MUC1 on tumor cells carries short, prematurely sialylated saccharide side chains. Antibodies induced with MUC1 isolated from tumor tissues [4, 5] were used to identify the peptide motif PDTRPAP as an immundominant epitope within the MUC1 tandem repeat.[7] The specificity of these anti-MUC1 antibodies was verified with synthetic Tn-and T-antigen glycopeptides.[8, 9] Moreover, saturation transfer difference NMR analyses revealed the conformation of a Tn antigen pentapeptide from MUC1 bound to a monoclonal antibody.[10]
