Human Tumor Antigens Tn and Sialyl Tn Arise from Mutations in <i>Cosmc</i>
13 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
Neoplastic lesions typically express specific carbohydrate antigens on glycolipids, mucins, and other glycoproteins. Such antigens are often under epigenetic control and are subject to reversion and loss upon therapeutic selective pressure. We report here that two of the most common tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, Tn and sialyl Tn (STn), result from somatic mutations in the gene Cosmc that encodes a...
