A novel Tn antigen mimic, in which the natural underlying amino acid has been replaced by the non-natural α-methylserine analogue, is reported. This derivative exhibits a similar affinity for a natural lectin as for the natural Tn and retains the bioactive conformation observed in the Tn-containing glycopeptides with anti-MUC1 antibodies.
报道了一种新型 Tn 抗原模拟物,其中天然的基础氨基酸被非天然的α-甲基丝氨酸类似物取代。该衍生物对天然凝集素的亲和力与天然 Tn 相似,并保留了在含有 Tn 的糖肽与抗 MUC1 抗体相互作用中观察到的生物活性构象。
