Glycopeptides and Glycoproteins

Abstract

This review provides an overview of our explorations into oligosaccharide and glycoconjugate construction for the creation and evaluation of glycopeptide-based vaccines. The basis for these investigations is the known tendency of both cancer cells and viruses to express selective carbohydrate motifs in the form of glycoproteins or glycolipids. Utilization of these carbohydrates in a glycopeptide-based vaccine could potentially trigger immune recognition, generating a protective response against the disease. However, obtaining large quantities of such compounds from natural sources is extremely difficult. Over the past two decades, our lab has been engaged in the total synthesis of complex oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. With this knowledge and experience, we have begun to evaluate, in many cases at the clinical level, whether the human immune system is capable of mounting a response against such fully synthetic carbohydrate antigens in a focused and useful way. Toward this goal, we have merged the powers of both chemistry and immunology to provide insight into this problem. The synthesis and evaluation of potential vaccines for both cancer and HIV will be described.

It is to these people, and to other members of the laboratory (who were constantly available for the extensive discussions that helped fashion this research) to whom the program is lastingly indebted. Financial support was largely provided by the National Institutes of Health, grants CA-103823 and CA-28824 (to S.J.D). We especially thank Mr. William H. Goodwin and Mrs. Alice Goodwin and the Commonwealth Cancer Foundation for Research for additional financial support. J.D.W. gratefully acknowledges the US Army Breast Cancer Research Foundation (DAMD17-03-1-0443) for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.
