<p>The present invention describes oligosaccharide sequences, which are specifically expressed by cancer cells. The present invention is related to a method of determining an cancer specific oligosaccharide sequence comprising LacdiNAc structure in a biological sample, the presence of said sequence in said sample being an indication of the presence of cancer. The present invention provides antigenic substances, diagnostic agents, pharmaceutical compositions and cancer vaccines comprising said oligosaccharide sequences or substances binding to said oligosaccharide sequences. The present invention is also related to methods for the treatment of cancer.</p> |
