title: Synthesis of MUC1-lipopeptide chimeras.
abstract: An efficient method for the convergent assembly of MUC1-lipopeptide vaccine candidates is described. Chimeras consisting of MUC1 glycopeptides (bearing multiple copies of the T(N) and T tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens) tethered to the lipopeptide immunoadjuvant Pam(3)CysSer were synthesised in high yields using a fragment-based condensation strategy.
