Abstract

Tn and sialyl-Tn carbohydrate structures, first identified in glycophorins of persons with the rare Tn syndrome, were found to be present on the surface of most cancer cells. In this article, the studies on Tn and sialyl-Tn antigens as diagnostic and prognostic tumor markers and as immunogens in vaccines for cancer immunotherapy are shortly reviewed.
