Glycan elongation beyond the mucin associated Tn antigen protects tumor cells from immune-mediated killing.
Membrane bound mucins are up-regulated and aberrantly glycosylated during malignant transformation in many cancer cells. This results in a negatively charged glycoprotein coat which may protect cancer cells from immune surveillance. However, only limited data have so far demonstrated the critical st...
