Abstract

Overexpression of certain tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACA) caused by malignant transformation offers promising targets to develop novel antitumor vaccines, provided the ability to break their inherent low immunogenicity and overcome the tolerance of the immune system. We designed, synthesized, and immunologically evaluated a number of fully synthetic new chimeric constructs incorporating a cluster of the most common TACA (known as Tn antigen) covalently attached to T-cell peptide epitopes derived from polio virus and ovalbumin and included a synthetic built-in adjuvant consisting of two 16-carbon lipoamino acids. Vaccine candidates were able to induce significantly strong antibody responses in mice without the need for any additional adjuvant, carrier protein, or special pharmaceutical preparation (e.g., liposomes). Vaccine constructs were assembled either in a linear or in a branched architecture, which demonstrated the intervening effects of the incorporation and arrangement of T-cell epitopes on antibody recognition.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 January 2018.
All research outputs
#6,912,918
of 22,671,366 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
#12,369
of 22,011 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#49,174
of 164,635 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
#74
of 140 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,671,366 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 22,011 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.7. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 164,635 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 140 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
